Daisy will be 2 in jan. Just over 3 weeks ago she started straining on urination, day later she was peeing blood. Emergency vet (weekend) did ultrasound, bloods and urine sample. Things got better, 4 days after discharge she started again, spent 5 days at the vets (emergency vet again) due to her deteriorating hours before I was due to go away for 5 days. Cleared up, came home, 8 days later flared up again.
Vet (normal/local) gave her a steroid injection, antibiotics, cystophan, zylkene - she didn't respond, metacam added, still not responding. She went back yesterday to the local vet who re did the bloods, urine sample, ultrasounds and a lot of X-rays including contrasts.
Urine is showing white and red blood cells and X-rays just show an inflammed bladder. He now wants to refer her for a biopsy of her bladder due to the fact she isn't responding to treatment. Now I've done a lot of research and I think this may not be appropriate as nothing else has shown anything other than idiopathic cystitis.
She did get stressed a few days before the initial flare up. Also the raw food that I had bought was a different batch (and looks weird/different) and every time she comes back from the vets (who fed her thrive chicken) and went back onto raw she flares up. Because she's not feeling 100% lilly (the other cat) is kinda ejecting Daisy, which possibly isn't helping. But I was just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this or had an opinion on what I should be doing? She is urinating (or trying too) in areas other than the litter tray, but I'm not telling her off or anything. I also have 3 feliways plugged in around the house and they've been in since October due to the fireworks.
