Glad she is better. If she is prone to bacterial cystitis, you might want to think about buying some d-mannose - it is a type of sugar. It is proven to stop bacteria sticking to the wall of the urinary tract and multiplying. It is the the same sugar that is in cranberry without the stuff cats don't need (like the acid)

There is some info here http://www.moggies.co.uk/html/fus.html

Great news

Maybe it was caused by an infection which has now cleared up so she's not exhibiting any problems.

Glad shes picked up

Dawn F · « **Reply #78 on:** February 08, 2010, 15:18:52 PM »

how odd, glad she is is ok though!

bunglycat · « **Reply #77 on:** February 08, 2010, 15:18:06 PM »

Well, no change still -FiFi seems to be perfectly fine

I have rung the vet to see if he needs to see her and he said no -finish antibiotics and keep an eye on her .
Only thing he thinks now is she could have had a blockage in the bladder and now its been flushed she is okay !?
No idea how she could have got this -if thats what it was
Anyway - just the rest of the bill to pay now and hope thats it for a long while now !!!!

Are these cats trying to turn me completely grey or paranoid

Both, probably!

Its great that Fifi seems back to normal, perhaps it was just a severe bout of cystitis.

If she won't eat wet food at all maybe try encouraging her to drink more with a tasty chicken stock - I use the carcass lfeftover when I have a roast and simmer in water for a few hours (or could use a slow cooker and leave it in all day). I keep some frozen in ice cube trays ready to use.

Well on the wee wee front that has happened to me twice and the docs are baffled as to what caused it!

Glad she seem much better now..... Grey is the new brown btw!

Poor Fifi, glad she seems better now shes home.

These cats are a worry aren't they.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #72 on:** February 06, 2010, 14:45:01 PM »

I so understand the last sentence

It does not sound like any op is needed and whilst she is fine i would be tempted to not upset the applecart.

Cats are such a worry, dont I know......sigh.....but thats because we love them so much

bunglycat · « **Reply #71 on:** February 06, 2010, 14:40:36 PM »

Well, its a mystery

she appears to be fine -eating, drinking and weeing okay and doing lots of sleeping as usual .
She is taking her tablets reasonably ok too - can''t think she needs an op if she carries on like this .
She is just the same as she was before this started

Last night Smartie was playing just before i went to bed , i was sweeping the kitchen floor as it had litter on it and he grabbed the brush a couple of times - 2 mins later when i went to give him his fortekor -his nose was bleeding - only a tiny bit - i think he has a little polyp right on the edge of the top/inside of his nose -i assume one of the brush bristles must have caught it -so i bathed it and stayed up an extra hour and kept checking it and its fine now .

Are these cats trying to turn me completely grey or paranoid - i feel like a wreck at the moment -watching and checking them evey 2 mins for something or the other !!!

How is Fifi today?

Hope Fifi is doing better now xx

Hoping everything is okay with Fifi Gill!

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #67 on:** February 05, 2010, 08:27:29 AM »

Fingers crossed it was Fifi who did the wee

I'm glad she's home and seeming happier

Janeyk · « **Reply #66 on:** February 05, 2010, 07:06:02 AM »

Glad to hear she is comfortable and keeping fingers crossed for her xx

Bazsmum · « **Reply #65 on:** February 05, 2010, 01:01:13 AM »

Really hoping that is was Fifi who used the tray! She sounds a lot happier in herself though Gill which much be a godsend to you!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #64 on:** February 04, 2010, 23:58:03 PM »

Maybe she was just a bit under the weather and something stressed her and she is actually fine. I do hope so but this does sound promising

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #63 on:** February 04, 2010, 21:33:22 PM »

if she was hanging on for the comfort of her usual litter tray, that would answer a couple of questions, anyway

let's hope so

bunglycat · « **Reply #62 on:** February 04, 2010, 20:51:02 PM »

FiFi is home , she is very pleased to be back , has eaten a little , but really couldn''t wait to get in her heated bed !!! She sat in it and started purring straight away

Whilst i was talking to Sheryl on the phone -someone did a big wee in the litter tray

- now i know for definate it was not Winston as he was with me , Smartie was still asleep in his heated bed - that leaves Sophie and FiFi - Fifi was in the kitchen , not sure where Soph was -but Soph doesn';'t usually cover it - so , i am thinking it was FiFi - which is good news .
Not really sure whats going on -the trouble is -neither does the vet

Janeyk · « **Reply #61 on:** February 04, 2010, 17:12:03 PM »

aww poor love, been thinking about her today and will keep hoping for good news

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #60 on:** February 04, 2010, 17:00:23 PM »

Keeping fingers crossed for Fifi and am sure she will be pleased to be home with you

bunglycat · « **Reply #59 on:** February 04, 2010, 16:52:03 PM »

Very quickly - i am just off to fetch her -still no good news -she hasn''t had an op today - still thinking its bladder rupture or cancer .
She couldn''t be cathertised (sp) as she was too small -but has been flushed with fluids .
Will try and ask again what they said -but i have to monitor her for the week-end , ring on Sunday and see if they are going to operate on Monday now .
She hasn''t eaten a thing since being there either -its not looking good at all

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #58 on:** February 04, 2010, 16:48:40 PM »

All the best from me, poor Fifi

Janeyk · « **Reply #43 on:** February 03, 2010, 17:46:40 PM »

So sorry to hear this Bungly, I'll be keeping everything crossed that the operation doesn't show anything serious

bunglycat · « **Reply #42 on:** February 03, 2010, 17:40:40 PM »

Update is its not good news - FiFi is baffling them at the moment - she has had bloods, x-ray and scan - done the tiniest wee (in 24 hours!) and it was full of blood -but apparantly cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Its looking at the moment like -a ruptured or tear in the bladder or a tumour on the bladder .
She is being kept in again tonight ( the vet ask me what her fav food is and has gone to Morrisons to fetch her some )- she is having a operation tomorrow to see whats going on - the prognosis isn''t very good at the moment .
I don''t know where i am to be honest , my heads all over the place - i have no idea how this has happened .
I was ask if she had been hit by a car -i know for a fact its not possible in anyway as she only sits at the bottom of the garden and she cannot get out at all -to be honest she hasn''t been out hardly at all over the last few weeks as she has looked outside and decided it was too cold .
I feel i am in a nightmare !
