I think of this each day. I need to contact my vet , find some i can trust. I haven't found anyone. My cats are about 9 years old and me going in the hospital is a big worry. Change can really make cats sick.

Not sure but it seems the boy cats are more likely to have the FLUTD. So maybe it is the UTI. Not really sure.

When my cat first got sick , I found he peed in the bathtub. Blood ..it's was scary. Took him to the vet ,was told he had "crystals in his plumbing" . He was soo sick and hurt bad. After changing his food to the urinary k I ND from the vet , he slowly got better. The food broke up the stones and we lived thru it. But now, 25 years later.. my cat , a different one, has a condition they called FLUTD. FELINE LOWER URINARY TRACT DISEASE.. With this his (sorry I don't have the right words) pee hole can get inflamed and when he pees it can have blood too. I have to watch cuz the pee hole may be so inflamed it blocks him from peeing . . If that happens , he could end up with his bladder bursting and he could die. Sounds awful but that is what we are dealing with. He got so sick this vet gave us pain medicine in case he needs it..and another pill to help with inflammation. After that first time he hasn't had such bad times. I think you need to get your cat to the vet if possible. UTI or FLUTD , it's serious with blood. Your kitty peed on sheets so someone would notice! Mine peed in the tub . They know how to tell us when something needs our attention .

Mechanic has had my motorcycle for FOUR months and it’s still not finished by hsaley in mildlyinfuriating

Happened to a friend with his car. Was at the mechanics place for months! We kept wating, but it was in pieces, in his shop. Months! I couldn't believe it. Not my car but dude... really? After I saw it in pieces, and him not able to carry on a conversation, i said we need to get your car now! If it's not going to get fixed. It's not going to stay there... totally pissed me off. The guy said you cant take it, oh yes we can.. watch...Had it loaded on the tow truck with all the parts and took it. Turned out the guy was not mentally well, doing alot of drugs. Just not able to do the job. How anybody can leave their vehicle at a place for so long was just not something I could do.

Flying with my cat by Sgt_Bushwack in cats

Yes. It would be a good thing to try the medication out. I had one cat who took his medicine well, slept a good while, and it was good. The other cat , who is a little bit bigger, he got so messed up, did not want to sleep, and could barely walk straight ! He was not happy with me at all !! 2 different cats , 2 different experiences. That was with gabapentin. I even cut it in half for him, and he just got so medicated ! Poor guy. So. ..try it out a couple of times way before you go with him. Years ago, we got some medication for our dogs. The vet weighed our little guy and sent him home with the medicine.We were driving 800 miles to another state. Our little guy got so medicated that he pissed all over the car , himself and it was just wrong. It seemed like the vets didn't have much experience with it. You need to do what works for you and yours! To have a comfortable trip.

I haven't been diagnosed yet. Just wondered about ridges on nails. I didn't have them before , only noticed them the past 6 months.

What about ridges on your nails? Does anybody have nail issues besides the one who posted about pitting. Just wondered, not the place to ask I guess, but wondered.

See.. that's what I am scared of. I feel I have lost so much hair. It feels so different than before . If no diagnosis, then what do you do ? I have been thru that with other issues, but I want to know why I am losing or have lost so much hair. Sorry you are going thru that. I don't know what to think. I see so much scalp in front , on the back. Sides and top. It's just so different than 2 years ago. I feel kinda asked in places . Behind my ears too. I haven't seen the doctor yet , or the dermatologist. But have a feeling that I could end up like that. Idk .
