Obviously, it's not Emerson that is sick. Ana had been having UTI symptoms a few weeks ago. We took her to the vet and she was put on 10 days of antibiotics. She got better and her symptoms improved. But a few days after she finished the antibiotics, her symptoms came back. For anyone who has ever had a UTI, the symptoms are the same in a cat and she was miserable. And we were miserable with all the new laundry--bath mats, bedspreads, dirty cloths AND clean clothes. So we took her back to the vet today. The vet thinks that either Ana Nicole still has the UTI or she has a sterile cystitis that is usually brought on by stress. Well, Emerson has been here for almost 2 years and she hasn't had a change in diet, so we are unsure what she could be stressed about, except maybe the upcoming election or the economy.
The collar is to prevent her from grooming herself down there -- she is so raw down there from the incessant grooming that comes with 8 trips to the litter box in 30 minutes that we've had to put the collar on her to prevent that. She's adapting and it's amusing.
