FLUTD, what's dat??
Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease.
Not contagious, induced by food, or stress, or dirty litter, or simply idiopathic (unknown) means.
History:
3 weeks back he had this, and was put on antibiotic for 10days.
He recovered and was bouncing around within 3 days.
Last Saturday, he started the out-of-litterbox routine again.
He was crouching and straining himself on everything else, carpets, toilet floor, kitchen mats,
and everywhere else, however to no effect.
So Sunday morning I rushed him to Mt Pleasant Emergency, only to be told that the doc is not available until after 8.30am. And the charges for emergency consultation will be $267!!
So off we went to AMK vet, and by 9.30am he was seen and then warded.
We took him back from the vet on Monday night, he looked miserable.
He still has bloody urine and is not able to pee properly.
We have to administer drips daily and also unplug his urinary catheter daily.
I can't sleep, can't eat and can't rest, just worrying about him.
He looks so weak and refuses to eat. He only drinks a bit of water.
Poor Teddy, we're trying our best here...
Even Nyai has taken turn to take care of him in the day while I'm at work.
My little girl takes care of him once she's home from school.
All of us taking turns to care for him, round-the-clock.
I hope he knows how much we love him!!
Though this may sound funny, I pray to God that Teddy can pee again!!
