And another from AHT:

These links are fantastic but the pic made me cry, it reminded me of seeing Jess in the vets!

Glad Archie is getting better

Word of warning is to use metacam carefully and only if essential

Sorry Archie not Posh! x

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #40 on:** July 04, 2008, 12:57:28 PM »

Thank you

Archie seems much better today and is not in his litter tray every two minutes.

The vet gave him an injection of metacam, but I have some at home from a previous emergency so will give him some if he is in distress

Big fat fluffy pawed hugs from Leo who had this a few weeks back.. get well soon Posh x

bisley boys mum · « **Reply #38 on:** July 04, 2008, 12:32:18 PM »

poor archie, metacam is really good and helps with the inflammation caused by stress, TC suffers with the same thing so i know how worrying it is.

Hope archie is soon feeling better :-)

I hope Archie is on the mend Alison

Thanks Desley just looked it up and it looks just the job. Will get some

I have cut out Archies dry food and presume it will be best to give him a wet diet from now on

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #35 on:** July 03, 2008, 20:35:40 PM »

Cystaid might help, it helped my foster who had stress related cystitis. HAving him on mainly wet food also helped.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #34 on:** July 03, 2008, 18:27:23 PM »

Thank you. Popped into the vets with the ins. form this afternoon and they think Archie is on the mend but to keep an eye on him.

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #33 on:** July 03, 2008, 18:09:04 PM »

hope the jabs from the Aussie vet have sorted it out and that things are calming down all round for you and Archie.

Wow Taz begs for medicines

Millys Mum · « **Reply #28 on:** July 03, 2008, 16:09:56 PM »

I will try to find the paper for you, i found it very interesting when taz first started having trouble as i had always thought it was down to infection and he was given alot of ABs which did nothing

(other than make him a hypochondriac, he loves taking pills and liquids so much he will beg for them

)

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #27 on:** July 03, 2008, 15:54:32 PM »

Thanks Millys Mum, will think about the micro chip issue

Did not realise about cystitus and bacteria.

Will get a feliway plug in .

Millys Mum · « **Reply #26 on:** July 03, 2008, 15:44:17 PM »

Dont assume shes chipped cos shes a ped

alot of breeders dont bother

Only 3% of cystitis is caused by bacteria, if the bengal is too much for him to handle he will have regular bouts of trouble until she has gone

You could try feliway plug in to help him feel better

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #25 on:** July 03, 2008, 14:25:42 PM »

Thanks Everyone

Dawn I have been wondering whether she is chipped and I would guess she is

Its very difficult We have to keep the door closed. OH has been shhuishing her out of the garden but I cant.

She does need to be rehomed, poor thing.

Archie has just peed a bit more blood so will have to phone the vet again if it does not settle

Poor Archie

poor Posh

Dawn F · « **Reply #23 on:** July 03, 2008, 12:46:13 PM »

I don't suppose you know if she is chipped??

how are you managing to keep Madam Posh at bay?

Seriously though she needs to be rehomed,its not fair on her as she obviously doesnt think of her home as "home"

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #20 on:** July 03, 2008, 09:35:18 AM »

A huge

for Archie. Hope he gets over this quickly x

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #19 on:** July 03, 2008, 08:49:51 AM »

Thanks for asking

I was worried yesterday morning as he started peeing blood again so phoned the vet. He said he thought it was the end of the infection but keep an eye on him.

Thankfully he seems back to normal this morning, which is such a relief

ChrisB · « **Reply #18 on:** July 02, 2008, 22:53:05 PM »

Alison, how is Archie doing now - hopefully he is feeling better.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2008, 09:42:41 AM »

Thanks Lucy

I think Archie is on the mend but he is still a bit dopey

lucy · « **Reply #16 on:** July 01, 2008, 21:45:47 PM »

Get well soon Archie!

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #15 on:** July 01, 2008, 20:30:28 PM »

Thanks Everyone

Gwen the vet did not advise a special diet but I am going to take him back for a chat

Woo Woo sorry that you are having the same problem

woowoo · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2008, 18:58:48 PM »

Hope Archie is feeling better soon. My neighbours cat is beating our Keidis up and he keeps getting stress cystitis, he also has a bite under his chin so another trip to the vets...... AGAIN

Gwen · « **Reply #13 on:** July 01, 2008, 18:40:06 PM »

to you and Archie?

Has the vet given you any special food to try him on? or advise you on food etc?

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #12 on:** July 01, 2008, 18:21:55 PM »

Get well soon Archie

Poor Archie, please give him a gentle head kiss from me and the boys

Bazsmum · « **Reply #10 on:** July 01, 2008, 13:26:35 PM »

Aw bless him....hope he continues to feel better!

Poor Archie

Hunny · « **Reply #8 on:** July 01, 2008, 12:57:17 PM »

Sounds very much like cystitis which is what Hunny gets after a stressful situation wth another cat. She strains to go to the loo so much that she ends up bleeding. Metacam helps. Other than that there's not much we can do but try to deter cats away from our garden. Easier said than done!

Dawn F · « **Reply #7 on:** July 01, 2008, 12:14:34 PM »

sounds like the novelty as worn off with these benglies - shame she's so strident! my own benglie madam is quite good but sounds like posh needs to be an only

I think I have mentioned before that Posh was on of two and the other got run over in the last few months.

I'd not picked that up on the A team thread

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #5 on:** July 01, 2008, 12:02:26 PM »

Will have a word with the lady across the road who has two cats but they are very timid.

I think I have mentioned before that Posh was on of two and the other got run over in the last few months. Was talking to some cat owners who live near Posh and they said the other bengal used to scare their three.
