Well, by Uncle Tim, I mean Dr Tim Chapman – the vet. My poor little pusscat is not very well. He’s had a touch of the old cystitis this last week, and has been on special food, pills and drops. I thought he was much better now (he certainly seemed to be straining less for a wee) and he seemed much more perky and sprightly…
First thing this morning I had to take back to the vet for a check-up. The swelling in the bladder does seem to have gone down, but his urine sample is a most definite worrying colour, so they’ve kept him in for a scan and exray and to take some samples.
I had to sign a consent form, where they outlined the probable cost – I shalln’t say how much – let’s just say it’s a goodly sum. But he’s worth it … bless him…
My parents always had Cat Health Insurance. Do they still offer than kind of thing? Last thing you want to be worrying about when your cat is ill is vets bills.
Poor kitty
I didn’t know that cats got cystitis – poor little thing. Still, it sounds like he’s in good hands.
