Just curious – is a male cat with a shortened urethra more likely to get urinary tract infections compared to a “normal” male cat?
Unfortunately, yes! It’s the same reason why female animals (including humans) are more prone to them as well.
Here’s a photo of Casper from today – he was released yesterday and we quarantined him in the bathroom overnight but now he’s running free in the house again. He seems much better than he was before he went to the vet – he’s much more active! I’m keeping a close eye on him because he may not be out of the woods yet according to his doctor, but for now he seems greatly improved. I’m giving him 100% wet food until he feels better and he’ll be on twice daily antibiotics for a week. I’ve also started giving him colloidal silver. He has to go back to the vet on Friday for a urine test to make sure the infection is gone, which he’s going to hate but hopefully it goes really well!
He’s very happy to be back to spying upon the unsuspecting neighbourhood haha.Check out my finished artwork at http://falcolf.deviantart.com/ and my sketch/studio blog at http://rosannapbrost.tumblr.com/

Thank you guys!
I’ve heard of people mixing in chicken or other meat broth into kibble to make it into a mush. Being vegetarian myself I don’t have that on hand, but it sounds like a good idea, provided one makes sure that it’s pure meat broth with nothing added. (Garlic and onions being toxic to kitties after all…) I love the Fancy Feast idea; that stuff ain’t the greatest nutritionally, but it definitely does the trick for adding some flavour and getting them interested! The wet food that I usually supplement my boys with for their dinner is either Best Feline Friend, Weruva or Almo personally. They don’t like pates. I’m going to start trying to feed them their food in meals also, ‘cus I think it’ll be more hygienic for Casper than food being laid out all day and it’ll be better for Copernicus, who has one or two pounds too many. (Although it’s a bit hard to tell with all that fur.)
And Casper is very snuggly Lasohaney, when you can catch him and he settles down haha! He’s a little on the skittish side, but he was a feral baby so I think it’s totally understandable that he’s a scaredy cat. <3 Mostly I can catch him – he trusts me, but sometimes he only wants to physically interact with humans in his 'safe zones,' which are his cat tree, the couch and my bed haha. When I first rescued him out of my backyard he wouldn't even let me LOOK at him let alone touch him and now he can't get enough of being petted – he will find me and beg me to pet him with meows until I comply most days haha. He also very occasionally sits on my lap and he practically worships his big brother Copernicus, which is absolutely adorable. Copernicus isn't always game for cuddles with Casper, but when they do curl up together in a furry ball, there's nothing cuter. (Well, at least from my very bias perspective haha! 😀 )
I'm hoping I might get to take him home tomorrow. It sounds like he's going to be on some pills for a while, but it was SUCH a huge relief to hear that the vet conversation had turned from 'possible euthanasia' to 'send him home soon with some medicine.' When all this is through and I'm back employed, I'm really going to have to find some way to pay back at least some of this good karma that has come my way. Twice now this year Casper's life has been saved and I am ever thankful. I'm going to be doing my best to also figure out how to make sure (as much as I can) that Casper doesn't ever have another urinary tract infection or issue in his life again. 🙂 I might give him some colloidal silver, since I've already started giving that to his brother for his gross looking skin infection.

Thanks guys!! I’m really crossing my fingers for him and hoping that tomorrow he might get to come home. 😀 Also; I might try that kibble-as-cereal trick haha! Casper loves his wet food, so I have no problems with him not eating it but the wetted kibble might be a great cost effective way for me to make sure he gets enough liquid, at least for one meal of his day. 😀

Just heard back from the vet and there are NO crystals in Casper’s pee, his issue is a urinary tract infection and a narrow urethra – both hopefully treatable!! I bet he got the infection from his brother Copernicus’ face (he’s got a gnarly looking skin infection at the moment) because they like grooming each other, being buds. I AM SO HAPPY, THERE IS HOPE!

Thank you!
I have been giving him wet food at night – he and his brother both get half a can each. We were giving them a little bit of kibble in the morning. I’d do all canned food (or even switch to raw) but the finances don’t jive very well with that. 🙁

That sucks Phantomess. I’ve thought of working at a vet clinic before but the thought of having to book in animals for euthanasia procedures always stops me. That must have been one heck of an awful phone conversation with the owner!
Well, this past Tuesday I lost my bakery job. It’s kind of a good thing because the bosses were horrible and it wasn’t working for me long term because I did not feel respected or valued there, since I was never once given a scrap of praise in the entire three months that I worked there but the loss of income does hurt, especially as tomorrow I have to take my cat (not Casper, his big brother Copernicus) to the vet to try to figure out why he suddenly scratched most of the skin off of the one side of his muzzle. He’s also got a swollen dewclaw for some reason and all of this is baffling because he’s an indoor kitty. He doesn’t get into fights; his fellow kitties are amiable with him. I’m praying that the next job I get works out better; it would certainly be nice if it wasn’t retail. I don’t think that I have ever lasted more than eight months at a single retail job. The last one I had, I could have stayed with I think but then the store closed and that was that. Thank goodness I had most of my Christmas shopping already complete! I’ve also been sick, so I haven’t started job hunting yet (don’t want to sneeze on an interviewer.) Anyway, hopefully I can get a diagnosis on Copernicus tomorrow so that I can move forwards with him and get a new, better job soon.

I just checked Canada Post and thank GOODNESS – the alert package went through Richmond and cleared customs very late yesterday! I’m so grateful, my week has been just plain nuts especially as I’ve lost my job then gotten sick and this helps make it a little better. 🙂 I REALLY hope you get your package soon Kim!

They’ve always gotten to my house okay before. I think one time Canada Post lost the tracking on another PYO I ordered but I’d already seen it come into Richmond from USPS’ side, so I wasn’t worried and it got here okay a few days later. I’d do the more expensive shipping if I could but I just can’t afford it, so it’ll just continue to be shots in the dark like this I guess. I’ll just have to wait a few days and see if this package shows up on Canada Post’s radar – hopefully it does!
