Fight against Urinary Track Infection

Poor little Agares, our cutiepie has fallen ill to this common disease.

Yesterday when Mommy was spending a day at home with us, she realized Agares is not completely ok. She noted her going to a white box where she stored clothes to pee and instead of telling her to /shoo she decided to let her do her business there. As she told me, she does not know why, but she just stood there to watch. There was only few drops of pee, but it was obvious that there was blood in the pee.

She talked to Daddy and kept and eye on Agares. Aga tried peeing many times, but always only few droplets came out after long tries.

After Daddy got home, he called our vet and Mommy charged out to get medicines for Agares. I have to thank our vets in Hematowet for not forcing Mommy to take Agares there, as she is so afraid of the world and the stress of travel and being examined by strangers would have been too much for her.
After an hour Mommy came back and took injections out from her bag... Those needles were at least half a meter long! I am serious! Daddy was holding Agares while Mommy was being the evil one and stabbing her with those long needles! At evening tho Agares told me that she is not hurting so much anymore, so I think something good came out from all that torture. Mommy just mentioned afterwards that there are still three days of injections incoming for our little Agares.

I hope she will be well soon, and we will keep you updated on the progress of her fight against UTI (Urinary Track Infection).

For those who are not aware what are the symptoms, let me list some of them for you. This disease is very serious for your cat, so if he/she shows any symptoms, please do not hesitate to contact your vetenarian!

Symptoms include :
- blood in urine
- small amounts of urine (if any)
- multiple tries to urinate and it can be painful for the cat
- urinating to "wrong places" instead of litterbox

Remember... this is VERY serious disease for cats, and only person giving a valid diagnosis is your vetenarian. It is also quite common, and if treated fast it will have no long term implications to your loved one. Please... do not hesistate to contact your vet if you think your friend might have this illness. Better to be safe than sorry!

And once more I want to thank our vets in Hematowet here in Warsaw for all their help to cure Agares :) For those not from Poland... the vetenarians there are "english enabled" so you can receive help for your pet while in Warsaw without a problem.
