What I can't understand is how this came on so suddenly if it is so serious. I'd have thought there'd have been some signs over the past months but nothing I can remember, except a couple of weeks back when she got very thirsty for a day or two.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-33213160863138601902014-07-16T19:32:55.507+08:002014-07-16T19:32:55.507+08:00Thanks Rae.

She has never had a tray for years and always asks to go out.

Not sure what else they can do but I feel they need to look at her at least.<br />I've taken cats to the vet before (Precious herself in the past) and I've never had a reaction like she is having now. I am hoping it's not the steroids affecting her.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-491117962391273212014-07-16T19:17:07.034+08:002014-07-16T19:17:07.034+08:00Hari OM

Staying outside in a hidey spot is normal too, Precious needs to come to terms with what has happened. Her eating a little twice yesterday is good too, and she will continue to eat small amounts until her appetite returns. Just keep offering it at the usual regular times and make sure she is warm and comfortable.

My daughters cat was diagnosed with the same thing and the peeing thing happened to her kitty as well and her vet said that it can be that they are confused with the discomfort and so pee in places that they believe may offer some comfort. <br />Rose ~ from Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908281749611280188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-7785355339191721612014-07-16T12:46:57.968+08:002014-07-16T12:46:57.968+08:00I'm so sorry about your kitty.

And I don't discount her punishing Phil either. <br />That she ate a little is a very good sign. Fingers and toes crossed for you all.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
