My precious little princess Emma is diabetic and now she has a kidney infection. She's been on Orbax liquid for just over 3 weeks now and it must be working as she's gone from drinking about 3 cups of water a day and peeing up a storm (like 10 times a day) down to drinking about 1.5 cups of water a day and about 4 or 5 pees. She is also on amolidpine, as she ended up with high blood pressure, which came from getting the kidney infection. Poor thing's retinas had detached but I caught it quick enough where God bless her they reattached. And that's how we eventually found out she had a kidney infection. Oh yea and she's on Enalapril too.
Anyhow, I am just looking for advice from folks on a couple of items:
1.) Her appetite has not been that good since just before she went on all the meds, but she is eating some. She used to devour 3/4 Fancy Feast in the am and 3/4 can Fancy Feast in the PM along with a little Wellness Core dry. But now, I am lucky if she eats 1/2 can of Fancy Feast all day with some Wellness Core dry. Vet had given her cypro to stimulate her appetite and she turned into a garbage disposal after 2 days so I stopped it. I stopped giving it to her because she was overeating. Anyhow, have you folks had cats who's appetites have gone down on meds?
2.) Although she has seemed happy around me, she has now taken to using my bed as her litterbox
She started peeing on my bed last week once and this week 4 times. So I am doing tons of laundry...putting Anti Icky Poo in it too...and now I've ordered Feliway diffusers and spray to see if that helps. Her litterbox is SO clean as I am a litter box clean freak. So I am not sure why she is doing it. Maybe because she's not feeling well? I love her so much but it is SO frustrating. And now I can relate to all the pee stories I am hearing/reading about...LOL! What I am starting to do is have my bedroom door closed until I know she has peed in her litterbox, of which I have praised her and she purrs away. But darn it today, I forgot to close my door and there is the little pee stain
Any advice on what I can do to make things better for her, or why she is like this now? I am chocking it up to her illness, and pray it gets better.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! I will try anything! I am thinking of maybe buying some baby food with no onion in it to see if she'll eat that. But she is SO fussy about what she eats now. She used to devour her Fancy Feast and now I am opening up all the 4 different flavors she likes with different results...sometimes good..sometimes not so good.
Thanks for listening,
