We've had an escalation of Polly behavior: she's now having bloody urinary accidents all over the house, including on housemates. She had a little incident on risu overnight.

This is now on the scale of her behavior prior to her bladder stones incident ten years ago, which concerns the hell out of me, since if she's having a resurgence of this that'll mean surgery that solarbird and I cannot afford. I am also deeply concerned that this just may be indicative of some kind of kidney failure that I won't be able to get dealt with either, just on the grounds that she's old.

Either way, she needs to be seen today. I have gotten an appointment scheduled for her this morning at the Woodinville Veterinary Hospital, recommended by kathrynt. Hopefully they'll be able to clue me in on a course of action to take, and if this is something that could be helped by antibiotics (just a seriously nasty infection of some kind), recommend one that we can get Polly to take without her throwing up.

Poor kitty!

[annathepiper]

Indeed. :( She's going to hate me in a very short bit when I stick her into the carrier, too.

Yea, I have to take Rune to the vet on Saturday to check out some respiratory problems she's been having. She hates going to the vet. :(

Wow, like grian_ruadh noted below, not a good week for kitties at all! Poor Rune!

Happy belated, sweetie, and good cat vibes. My kitty Arwen is at the vet hospital this morning herself to get a tooth abscess taken care of. Not a good week for kitties! *hugs*

[annathepiper]

*hugs a bunch* Thanks, on both counts. Yeah, not a good week for kitties at all. :(

I was going to have her seen by a mobile vet tomorrow, but I've gone ahead and canceled that appointment because this just can't wait. Not if she's letting fly on actual people. Guh!

Thanks. It's looking like Polly's going to need it even more so than usual.
