Poor Melbcat seems fussy and is a bit ‘backed up’, still seems painy, and still cries after peeing :( She also seems unusually hungry for wet food.
I’ve been giving her osmolax + extra water in her wet food and am taking her back to the vet Monday. The uti might not be resolving even on the hardcore antibiotics or she might need to have her thyroid checked again. Or perhaps it’s her kidneys worsening 😣
I also haven’t been trying to apply the dental gel because I don’t want to upset her.
Edit: I’ve given her a spot on treatment and used the oral gel. I am a mean abusive mumther
aw, no you're not, you're the best melbcat mom 🫂
I have been required to compensate her in cracker crumbs (also bad for her teeth)
But she’s using the hot water bottle I made for her tummy
