hi..my cat hasnt been using his litter box lately,,and tonight he peed in a garbage bag, and it had blood mixed with his urin..im worried. thanks
My 2yr.old cat started pooping on the floor. He would run around furiously while dropping poop. We have 2 cats,2 litter boxes, This was a couple of weeks ago. He stopped doing it for a couple of days, now he's at it again but also peeing. I took him to the vet just prior to these problems because he was throwing up but there was nothing wrong.I don't know what to do, the litter boxes are always clean. Thanks, Dana
Hi,
I have two cats, one is 11, and the other is 5. They have both been on Prescription diet CD (they have at one time or another both had bladder infections) We were on this food exclusively until Spring 2007, we moved in with my (ex)boyfriend and his cats ate Iams. With five cats, it was easier to feed all the same. In the Fall I moved in with a roommate, and she had two cats. We fed them something from Purina.
In the Spring of 2008, we moved out on our own. I transitioned the girls to Wellness to promote weight loss in the 5 year old, who is overweight. In the Spring of 09, the 5 year old had a horrible bladder infection. Per vet prescription, both cats are on the CD food. I had been feeding them 1/2 a 5.5oz can twice a day, and 1/4 cup (communal) dry twice a day.
Recently, I went out of town, and my landlord and her partner (who is a vet) feed the girls for me and they put them on a diet! They cut their food intake in half 1/4 a 5.5oz can twice a day, and 1/4 cup (communal) dry once a day. This was towards the end of September 2009. I have been maintaining this diet in hopes that it will benefit my 5 year old.
The past few days, at least three, the 11 year old is vomiting after she eats. The initial time it was a hairball (and that gross sludgy looking stuff that seems to come with the hairball). The last few times, it is undigested food. To make matters worse, she tries to eat it while I am cleaning it up.
Please advice, I am going to try to make an appointment with a vet, but between school, and very recent death (yesterday) in the family (and a funeral to help plan for Friday), time is very scarce this week. Unless it is a possible medical emergency, it would be a great blessing if I could wait until next week. Other than her vomiting after eating, her behavior is normal.
Sorry for the mini-novel, I just wanted you to have as much info as possible.
Thanks for your help, and this great site!

Our 14 year old Miniture Schnauzer has been drinking alot of water (more then normal). And he can not hold his pee. This does not happen all the time but it has been happening more frequently. We go to let him outside and before he can get to the door he has peed. Or we can be in the kitchen and turn around & he has peed. And there is alot of pee. We have been to our vet and they have done blood and urine tests for cancer,diebities,theroid and other things. And everything turned out good. Last Sunday we started him on Proin but it does not seem like it has helped yet. We need some help and so does he.
my dog is an 8-year old westie, and has been a fairly healthy one before this past week. lately, he's been extremely lethargic, not eating or drinking, and he's peed in the house (something he's NEVER EVER done before), just wondering what you may think is wrong?
Hi Dr. Spohn-
I have an 11 year old cat that has both irritable bowel syndrome and urinary blockage.
He is presently being treated with "depo" shots very infrequently for the irritable bowel syndrome. He seldom has bouts of vomiting lately.
For his urinary problems, he is being fed Hills Prescription Diet CD dry food. He doesn't care fot the CD canned food. I am also giving him Uroeze 400; presently on Merrick food (as an attempt to get him to eat it.)
The problem is he no longer seems to want the Uroeze. I've tried putting it in baby food, canned cat food, sprinkling it on his CD dry food.
He used to have a voracious appetite and would eat whatever he was given. We had to have another cat put to sleep last summer. It seems since then (or maybe it's just coincidence) he's become very finicky.
It seems to me that since he's not getting much of the Uroeze, he isn't drinking as much water, isn't peeing as much and is a bit constipated. I'm also giving him CatLax for hairballs to ease the constipation.
I've tried to speak with my veterinarian. He says just leave the Uroeze on his food until he eats it. I would like to take him off the special diet and the Uroeze all together and, if necessary, try something holistic.
What are your thoughts?
My 7 year old box terrier has started to pee loads inside and outside the house and it smells strong whats wrong with her?
My 3 year old dog is peeing a lot more at night. In the last week i have had to change his pee pad everyday. He never used the bathroom in the house.
