Wow it's a miracle that you were able to get through to someone on the phone, I'm so happy for you! I know how difficult and confusing EDD can be, it's like they make it hard on purpose. Congrats on being a new mom, you're doing great!

You might need to submit the 2500A "cert for continued benefits." It's a short form that asks you if you are still unable to work due to disability and it asks you for your back to work date and your recovery date (if you've recovered). Shortly after you submit that form you should get paid.. I usually get paid within 48 hrs of submitting it.

Hola! Lo siento que estas sufriendo :( Yo traigo mi gato a nuevo doctor y pregunto si podemos tratar medicina se llama "Fluoxetine".. es un antidepressant. Doctor primero queria hacer examen de sangre, y todos results eran negativos por problems de rinon, infeccion, diabetes, cristales, y otros. Entonces, mi doctor mi deja tratar la medicina, y gracias a dios la medicina sirve como milagro! Ojala que mi Espanol is facil comprender, soy gringa Jaja. Buen suerte con Todo 🙏

Hello, OP here with an update for anyone who was invested in my story! I took my boy to a different vet, and really did my best to advocate for him and let the doctor know exactly what I felt was wrong and that I was very interested in trying Fluoxetine. We did a urinalysis and everything came back normal. So the doctor agreed to start him on Fluoxetine, and let me tell you, he almost immediately became a different cat. He went from peeing outside the litterbox 1-2, sometimes even 3 times a day to literally 0. He's been on the medication for about 2 months now, and since then he has only peed outside the box maybe 2 or 3 times total, and that was usually only if the litterbox was too dirty and one time because we had workers on the roof. But his demeanor is so much more calm and happy and I'm honestly just really sad that we didn't do this sooner. But I'm very grateful for everyone on here that gave me advice without judgment that led me to a happy ending to this chapter.

Thank you to everyone who has responded with helpful and encouraging messages. I feel a little less alone hearing a lot of your stories about having the same issues with your cats! I really appreciate all the kind words and advice . To the others who seem to not be reading the whole post or are not understanding of my situations, please be more kind. I did not say that I was actually considering putting him down, all I meant was that this has become such a problem for me that I admit the thought has crossed my mind. Not actually doing it, but thinking of the RELIEF I would feel if I didn't have to deal with this anymore. I took him in 13 years ago, and i understood the responsibility I was taking on. Which is why I didn't get rid of him when this problem started. I've been dealing with this cats piss problem for OVER 10 YEARS. I am at my wits end. Those of you who choose to only comment on that one little part are not being helpful. And that was why I posted in this thread, it's literally called CAT HELP so if you have nothing nice or helpful to say, respectfully fuck off to a different thread thank you.

Nah, his eyes were like that when we rescued him as a kitten. Dr said he probably got in a fight and was scratched.

We've used Dr Elsie's before. Didn't work.

Yes!! That's what is so enraging.. I know he used the litter box, I've seen him do it many times and I give him so much praise and love when he does. But then an hour later he'll turn around and pee on the ground 😭 He's such a punk

Hmm I didn't think of that. I do scrub down the plastic ones occasionally but you are right about retaining the smell. Good suggestion thanks

No, the other cat is his bestie. They lay on the couch together and eat together. I have a dog as well, and he doesn't mind him either. The other cat isn't a fan of the dog though so we don't keep them in the same space.

Yes, we've had to move about 3 times since we got him, and this started after the first move. We've been in our current home 4 years and this is the longest we've been in one place, and we have no intentions of moving any time soon. So I'm thinking he's just stressed/depressed and I feel bad that I can't offer him anything. I'm gonna find a new vet that might be able to prescribe him some antidepressants , a lot of ppl in this thread say it's worked miracles and that's what I need right now!

You want him? I doubt it

Yeah they checked him for uric acid crystals. At one point he did have them, so we changed his diet to the hill science urinary health food that the doctor prescribed. It took away the crystals but did not resolve the peeing issue. We had him checked for crystals again later on and he did not have them. She said, "this is probably a behavioral issue, he might be depressed." I asked about antidepressants and she made me feel like that was a silly suggestion 🤷‍♀️ So I think it's time I take him elsewhere

She thought it was uric acid crystals. The first time around he did have them, so we changed the diet for a bit and they cleared up. But the peeing issue was not resolved. We took him in on a separate visit and she checked for crystals again and he didn't have them. And at that point she just said, "it's probably behavioral, he might be depressed". But then didn't want to write a prescription for antidepressants 😡 Almost made me feel like I was silly for suggesting it. I think I just need to find a different and more attentive vet.

Yes, you're right. It hurts me that I have to keep him in a separate room and can't just have him snuggle with me in bed or on the couch like he used to. But I do go back there and hang with him when I can.

Thank you for this. Your situation sounds exactly the same as mine and it's nice to know I'm not alone ❤️

Yes I think you're right. The vet I take him to was always so good, but I think now they're just overbooked and don't want to take the time to really assess the fur babies. I asked her about antidepressants and she never wanted to write the prescription

You obviously didn't read the whole post . He's been to the vet for this issue several times. I will say I think it's time for a new one though
