Cat with E Coli bladder infection
My cat Snickers has been diagnosed with E. Coli in her bladder. She was having problems urinating and the vet put her on an acidifying diet. Now they tell me that they've managed to find a bug in her urine (they grew it) and it's E. Coli - what is it? How did she get it? She never eats human food and I always keep the lid on my toilet closed?! My vet put her on Clavamox as well. |

Cat recovering from hepatic lipidosis-fatty liver disease
My Silver Tabby (8yo female neutered) is now recovering nicely, from Hepatic Lipidosis, and is eating and drinking on her own.She now weighs 8 pounds, and is active and playful.I can feel her ribs, but they have a covering of fat, so I'm wondering, is this a good weight for her? She eats about a quarter of a cup of Feline Iams Adult Maintenance a day, and that has recently increased a bit.Is that enough? Most of the time when I'm at work, she sleeps, and is active in the evening.Thanks!
