Re: Can my incontinent cat, who walks, become paralized?

Hi, thanks for your reply! She is getting better on the legs issue. We are thinking she jumped from too high on her kitty condo or something like that, because she is not walking funny anymore and I don´t see her to be scared of anything before jumping. Will continue checking until this weekend. She...

Re: Can my incontinent cat, who walks, become paralized?

Thank you so much for your answer! Yes, I will observe her until Friday and if no improvement, I will take her to the vet and of course I will let you know! I hope it is just a sore hip or knee that she got maybe jumping or playing with my other cats. :thankyou:

Hi, I am in such distress. My Mimi, 3 years old. Same accident as most cats here. Car accident, amputated tail, incontinent, but thank God she has always been able to walk, jump, like a regular cat.

Re: Vet Suggests Euthinizing, Any Other Options Out There?

I hope my reply is not too late. I bet scenario 2 is the most likely (I hope you get the 1). My cat has that problem. Believe me, it was a nightmare at the beginning for me, but now it is part of my routine to express her and change her diapers ;) It is like having a baby, actually, it is way easier...

Hello everyone! My handicapped cat (no tail, diapers, incontinent) whose name is Mimi has developed 4 UTI in the last year, since I adopted her.

Re: UTI...third time in a year! HELP ;(

HIIII! I am so glad! Mimi es doing GREAT! The explanation of the blood stack on the walls of the bladder seems logical now. Because it was that way. Like it was flushing out. Even there were some little blood chunks coming out. On Monday she peed with that for like 3 times. At about 6pm, pee started...

Re: UTI...third time in a year! HELP ;(

Thank you so much for your replies. Because of your answers is that today in the morning I decided to take her back to the vet. Yes, I found out that the name is Convenia, the one you mention Critters and it does work for that. Apparently it works slowly though since it is released little by little ...

Re: SOS-Cat: Amputated tail + bowel & bladder incontinence

I hope I can get it in a pet store here since I am only visiting for holidays, so I dont even have a vet here.
I will try to look right now! Is there any brand or name that could help me to look online?
THANKS!
