My kitty Zoe is going to be 17 in June. She's been having health problems the last few years. Started out with chronic UTI's, we special order litter for her. Then her eye sight started to go so the whole house is lit up with night lights. Our vet said she's a bit senile too. We bought stairs so she could get into the beds that arthritis made impossible for her to jump onto. We have changed foods and gone to mostly wet food, I buy her B.F.F. which is supposed to be great for older cats.
Two weeks ago I took her in to our vet for a suspected UTI. She's been yowling at me when going to the bathroom. It was a different sound than she has ever made. She has lost 2 pounds since the previous visit (2 months before)
Her BG was checked during the visit and came back with 320 (I think). Vet thought perhaps she was spiking due to UTI so we decided to try 2 weeks of antibiotics. He had hoped that her glucose would come down but I am not seeing any improvement.
She's drinking and peeing like crazy, still yowling and just generally looks (and smells) terrible.
Anyway that's our recent history in a nutshell. I'm now at the point of a followup visit and having to decide what we do next.
