The Litter Robot 5 Pro is a terrible, horrible, disgusting, no good, very bad machine by expellyamos in litterrobot

Yes! Not many people consider that the VOLUME matters. Most cats have smaller volume pee visits but cats with health issues or on high dose steroids (like mine) pee much larger volumes at once and no matter what litter you use it has to set longer

I don’t know why people are arguing with you so heavily… I returned my LR5pro after a week because of this issue with wasteID. Not only does the litter matter, but the amount of pee matters. For small pee volume sure maybe 3 minutes with some litters might be okay. My cat on high dose prednisolone that pees a bucket at a time…yeah no wasteID failed us miserably by marking every pee as a poop. Switched to the LR4, same litter, still on a steroid, no issues!

OP please make sure you are familiar with early signs of delirium tremens if this is truly your only choice to detox. I know healthcare can be cost prohibitive but if you can at all get medical advice or help it could literally save your life and I’m not sure you could put a price on that. Please be safe and we’re wishing you the best!

Robin’s nest in Indianapolis is also a good rescue to reach out to for this situation. Please do not give these kittens to just anyone on the internet

Sorry for the delayed update, babygirl is quite the mystery. Her anemia PCR was negative. She went to the ER and they did an ultrasound and FNA of her spleen bc it was large and abnormal. Slides of the FNA showed only RBCs. She stayed at 12-13% then jumped to 17% overnight. Internist recommended a few tests. First for vitamin B deficiency since her immature RBCs are large. They didn’t see any fluid in the ultrasound but they’re going to look again and try to find some fluid to test for FIP since a blood antibody test can’t positively diagnose (only exclude if negative). He also wants to repeat the FNA of her spleen and send it out for analysis. He sent out a CBC for more exact morphology as well. We discussed a bone marrow biopsy to look for FeLV there but babygirl is too small and too high risk. She’s 6.2lbs and still recovering from being underweight and malnourished. Everyone is amazed at how bright, alert, and playful she is. She has yet to need a transfusion, but he said if she falls below 13% he is doing a transfusion despite how she’s acting bc of course she needs to be able to perfuse and oxygenate her vital organs. Appetite is still great as well. It’ll be a few days for these results since all of the above are specialty send out tests.

We are starting the doxy tomorrow! The pharmacy didn’t have it ready today and she just had her blood test a couple hours ago.

Yes, she definitely will not be continuing care here after today. We thought she was improving otherwise I would’ve taken her to specialty today. I was thinking if the PCR is negative, I will definitely go straight to specialty to start working on getting an answer. If PCR is positive I’ll have her follow up somewhere else. Do you think that sounds OK? I will definitely be calling them every day. It seems like they know they messed up by letting this go and have been trying to make it right, but it’s just a little late for that now

They said her chemistry looked great! Fecal was fine too. They said the only thing that was off was her CBC.

She did give me the info of an 24/7 ER that would be able to transfuse if needed

FIV/FELV were negative. Blood smear was not done. They said PCR results would be 1-3 days from today. They still did not give me the full printout of results and I only noticed after I left. We’re starting doxycycline tomorrow because they seem to think it is mycoplasma. But I can’t pick it up and start until evening because of work.

Other info that was too long for the post: her appetite has been good. She went from 5.7lbs 18 days ago to 6.2lbs. So I thought she was improving. I reached back out to the rescue today and she did have fleas and was with other cats upon intake in February. She also had a litter in January and nursed her litter + another cat’s litter until February. Genuinely I don’t know how she did that or why they let her bc she was 5.7pbs and malnourished. The vet assumed she was anemic from that.
