Simon is back down to his more normal numbers and I'm so happy to see this. Last night, he was so playful and when I went to bed, I kept hearing something banging around on the floor. It was Simon playing with his nanner! He hadn't even really noticed the nanner when I bought it but all of a sudden, he has discovered it.

I still don't know what to do about the antibiotic the vet wants to start him on. I posted on Health, but haven't received any answer yet. Since his number for the beta hemolytic steroid on the urine culture was not really that significant according to the vet, I am wondering how important it is to get him on the antibiotic. Does anyone know someone I can ask? Of course, I don't want to compromise his health, but I don't want to unnecesssarily put him on something he doesn't really need. I guess I'll go ahead and pick it up this afternoon to have it ready to go. Any help is appreciated.

Happy Friday!

Now this number looks more like Simon.
Sorry but I don't know anything about he AB. Posting on health was a good idea, I am sure that somebody will respond to your question.

Have a good day. :-D

No answers for you here I'm afraid. But it's great to see that nice blue amps and to hear Simon is playful and loving his nanner
 
Re: 3/11 Simon AMPS 117

Discuss it more with the vet. Ask the pros and cons. If he's not sure, can he speak with someone at a vet school in their pathology dept. or lab to get more info? Frankly, if you vet is concerned, a urinalysis will need to be re-done about 2 weeks after the course of the AB to make sure the culture is clear. I would ask if a cat can be a carrier of this form of strep and be completely asymptomatic.

I would ask your vet also. I wouldn't play around with a UTI though. They sometimes don't culture for very long anymore - maybe they have the option of a longer culture. Would you be up to a second draw/culture?

Simon is sparkling in that pretty blue number!!!!
 
Re: 3/11 Simon AMPS 117

I am so glad to hear that your handsome boy is having fun playing. :) I hope you find the answers to your questions, but talking to the vet a little bit more sure sounds like a good idea.
 
Re: 3/11 Simon AMPS 117

I will talk to the vet today to ask more questions about Simon's lab work. I am also a little concerned about the strep and if it is something that can be passed on to my other cat. I know a UTI is something I should not avoid taking care of, so if it sounds like it is important to get it cleared up, I will definitely put him on the antibiotic.

Do most people use one type of antibiotic for a diabetic cat or does it really matter?
