Elderly Cat Has Recurrence of Bacterial Infection
My cat is suffering a recurrence of a severe bacterial infection. It was so bad last summer that I almost lost him. His urinalysis shows rods of bacteria in his urine and he is having difficulty going to the bathroom. When he has to go, he bottom swells and I can see the stool there stuck trying to come out but hard and stuck. Sometimes when he's trying to go he actually falls either from strain or pain.
He is on antibiotics and coconut oil. he is also taking urimaxx which is a kidney blend with cranberry. The rods went from tens of thousands to none last year and this is the first time he's shown any in a year. I'm worried because it's been four days and he's still not eating on his own with the coconut oil. Does anyone have any other suggestions.?? He is an older cat but up until the day before his first symptom he was bouncing around like normal other than a bit of arthritis that showed with jumps from countertops. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
