Ember could also have bladder/kidney stones or crystals. They are difficult
to test for in part because of size. Can you get Ember to drink lots of
fluids? Chicken, tuna, whatever juice/broth? Canned food that has been
watered down? You may need to confine her to a small cage with a litter box
so she has no alternatives.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Subject: how to get a cat to pee...
Ember may or may not have a UTI. She's been peeing in one of the sinks in
our rooms for a few weeks, but will also pee in her litter box. When the
vet tried to get a sample from her yesterday, there was nothing to get.
He sent some non-absorbant plastic "litter" home with us. I put the
"litter" in her box after removing the normal litter and left for work
this morning. It's after 9 p.m., and I still have nothing to pour into a
container for the vet to test. Any thoughts on how to make sure I get a
sample? I know I could test with pH strips, but I want the vet to be able
to test for whatever he's looking for.
Thanks,
Lance
