Sorry...

Sorry to update again, but I'm panicking. I just noticed blood in Smudge's urine. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Maybe it's just caused by stress, but I'm really worried.

ETA: Taking him to the vet's tomorrow. I just wondered what the many cat-owners on my flist thought. *Sigh* He seems otherwise OK, so I hope it's not serious. I shouldn't have looked online though... all you get is worst case senarios!

I had the same problem with my big male cat--after almost a thousand dollars later--he was fine--He had FUS --and they need low magnesium and low Ash diets--but it needs to be treated Right away--or poison's will build up in their system and quickly.
Best of Luck!

God I hope its not that... no idea where I'll get that kind of money from...

If you take your cat to the regular Vet it should NOT cost that much---unfortunatley It happened to us on a weekend night and when I picked him up--he gushed blood ALL over the kitchen floor. So we had to rush him to the emergency University Animal Hospital and it cost near $600 for overnight!!! *Credit Card*

But when I took him for the rest of his care at our normal Vet is was only about $150.00.

Best of Luck!!!
