Kitty cat update

[merlinofchaos]

The urine test came back that he has a little blood in his urine, indicating either infection or inflammation in his bladder. Not knowing which it is until the culture comes back, which won't be until next week, he's getting an antibiotic in case it's an infection since it shouldn't go untreated any longer than it already has.

He also has an elevated enzyme count in his liver which could be a result of the inflammation, but they want to keep an eye on it so he has to go back in next month for another test.

Urf. I hope it's something easily (albeit painfully) treatable like mineral deposits in the kidneys (and bladder and urethra) -- kitty kidney stones, basically. Owen spend several months developing those, and his peeing (and overall) behavious got worse and worse, until finally I took him in for treatment (twice, alas). After he got the deposits removed and his food changed, his personality improved dramatically.
