ACCEPTEDCheck Mark
You seem very knowledgable about how important antibiotics are for him. Therefore, you probably also know how serious UTI's can be in a male. Untreated it can lead to FUS and be very dangerous and life threatening. He may also be pre diabetic. If you have a good relationship with your vet and he has treated your cat for this before, he may give you the medication.You can keep him hydrated with unflavored pedialyte. You can also contact www.carecredit.com for emergency financing of pet expenses. Observe you cat VERY carefully. If he strains at the box with no results, or you see blood or he stops eating or becomes very lethargic this will be a medical emergency. If any of this happens you must seek vet attention immediately or you could lose him.

PLEASE EXCUSE MY CAPS BUT THIS IS CAUSING ME EYESTRAIN.....BUT EVERYTHING U TOLD I KNOW ALL TOO WELL ACCEPT FRO THAT HE MAY BE PRE DIABETIC. I LOST MY FIRST KITTY BECAUSE HE HAD THE SAME ILLNESS AND THIS CAT IS THE FIRST ONE I EVER HAD TO LIVE WITH ME FOR SO LONG AFTER A LONG CHILHOOD OF MY MOM NOT WANTING CATS AND REFUSING ME BUT BACK TO THE SUBJECT GOLDI HAD TO HAVE A CATHERER INSERTED BEFORE AND HE IS NOW ON FELINE CD OR CDS FOOD. ISN'T THIS EXTREMELY HIGH COSTING FOOD SUPPOSED TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO HIM? YES HE IS NEUTURED. I'M STILL NEW TO FLORIDA AND MY VETS THA KNOW US ARE IN LOUISIANA. I CAN'T AFFORD A VET VISIT WILL THEY JUST LET ME HAVE THE ANTIBIOTICS WITHOUT AN EXAM? OR CAN THEY CONSULT WITH THE OTHER VETS BACK IN LOUISIANA AND SEE IF THEY CAN JUST PRESCRIBE SOMETHING? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
