Re: [Felvtalk] MY LITTLE GIRL NOT EATING MUCH

[Katherine K.]

My kitty had 6 teeth extracted in February because of gum pain. They have
healed well but the best way for him to eat is pureed wet food. I have a
Cuisinart hand-held immersion blender that makes it easy to blend a can of
food with water making it like a pureed soup. He just laps it right up and
it doesn't hurt his gums.

Re: [Felvtalk] MY LITTLE GIRL NOT EATING MUCH

[Amani Oakley]

I agree that if you have those findings in a urine sample, that there may be an 
infection, but more often than not, when a urine sample is cultured from cats, 
nothing grows and no bacteria are seen. By the way, as far as I know, the 
specific kind of white cell (ie – neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, 
eosinophils, etc.) are not identified in the urine – they are identified as 
neutrophils in the CBC. In urine, you just get an estimation of whether white 
blood cells are found and how many per high power field (if examined 
microscopically). If done just by a urinalysis dipstick, you get a 1+, 2+, 3+ 
result or “mild, medium, high” levels.

Why is it so rare that bacteria cause a UTI?  I have read in blood work myself 
that it is quite possible.  High WBCs and high Neutrophils in the urinalysis 
will indicate infection.   Also in a urinalysis, it will state if bacteria is 
seen or not.  So I am a bit confused.  If there is blood in the urine, but no 
bacteria seen, then I would say cystitis. Well anyways, Kit ate for the first 
time today and cleaned her plate.  She did this yesterday to though and that's 
why I am questioning it.  She is 9 months old.  Could she be changing her 
eating habits?  She use to go from cleaning off her plate in seconds, to now 
being more picky.  She is in remission and her appointment is in July because 
she has been doing so well, the vet said 4 months re-check.  I'm not sure about 
prednisilone just yet.  Do you all use this med for yours?  When Kit was 
diagnosed, she was on Onsior, an antibiotic (2 rounds), iron, and Immuno 
Support.  Now she is just on the Immuno Support.  For bladder inflammation, in 
my group on FB, we have recommended Corn Silk liquid (alcohol free) and it 
works wonders (all natural).  I will see how she does tomorrow and make a

Hi Nancy

It is very rare that cats get an actual urinary tract infection caused by 
bacteria. Instead, they may get cystitis or other inflammatory conditions. If 
that is what you suspect, then prednisolone may be of assistance. However, 
given her lack of appetite as well as not using the litter box, I am sure you 
recognize that it could be a bunch of other things causing her to not feel 
well. If it were me, I would have blood work drawn for haematology at least, 
and biochemistry if possible, and then once that is done, get her on the 
prednisolone. Since the prednisolone helps in many conditions which cause 
inflammation, it can’t hurt to have her on it while you await the blood 
results. With those in hand, you would have a better idea what your next steps 
might be and if there is other medication that is needed.

The prednisolone would probably help with her appetite as well, while you wait 
for the lab results.

Sometimes feeding in a different location worked for Ember. 

Agree with Amani that a CBC would be a good thing to have. 

I hope Kit feels better (and hungrier) soon.

Re: [Felvtalk] MY LITTLE GIRL NOT EATING MUCH

[Amani Oakley]

Hi Nancy

It is very rare that cats get an actual urinary tract infection caused by 
bacteria. Instead, they may get cystitis or other inflammatory conditions. If 
that is what you suspect, then prednisolone may be of assistance. However, 
given her lack of appetite as well as not using the litter box, I am sure you 
recognize that it could be a bunch of other things causing her to not feel 
well. If it were me, I would have blood work drawn for haematology at least, 
and biochemistry if possible, and then once that is done, get her on the 
prednisolone. Since the prednisolone helps in many conditions which cause 
inflammation, it can’t hurt to have her on it while you await the blood 
results. With those in hand, you would have a better idea what your next steps 
might be and if there is other medication that is needed.

The prednisolone would probably help with her appetite as well, while you wait 
for the lab results.

Hi all,  haven't posted here in awhile because all was going well.  Kit
decided she did not want to eat today.  So when I get home I intend
to try Baby Food (Gerber's Stage 2).  If she does not eat, I will be
syringe feeding her and contacting the vet.  I did see that she did
not use the litter box a few times, but is now using it again.  Could
it be a possible she has a UTI?  Any advice is appreciated.
