NOT feeling much better
Cat Couch here ...
Chatham was getting better, but then seemed to be feeling bad again. He had a follow-up exam with the Vet on Tuesday. The good news is that the bladder infection was better, but the bad news is that it wasn't gone. So that means another ten days of antibotics.
And Chatham has lost more weight. In his "hay day" he was over 12 pounds. Now the scale didn't even quite get to 8 pounds. He's lost .3 pounds in ten days. He seems to be a little nauseated. We bought a "Magic Bullet" to puree food and to mix in some fiber and the Cosequin.
He's been spending most days up in our bed, coming down to use the litter boxes (I did move one up to our bedroom for a day, but he seemed annoyed by that). I bring food up to him frequently and encourage him to eat. He'll usually eat a little each time I do this.
Hopefully the medicine will work better this time. I'll keep you all updated.

Oh, we're sorry to hear this. We're purrayin' that the (nasty but necessary) medicine works this time and that you're feelin' better soon, Chatham. Purrs to you, Cat Couch and efurryone.
We are so sorry to hear this. It's always a tricky thing with older kitties to get them feeling perkier. When Ralphie was sick we practically stood on our heads to get him to eat more than 3 mouthfulls of food - especially after we had to stab him and give him his fluids, like you have to do with Chatham. He seemed more annoyed when we tried to force food into him. But stage 1 baby food - like ham and lamb and turkey were always winners. He could eat an entire jar of that at a time. Has your v-e-t said it's ok to give baby food to Chatham to get him to eat something? - Meezers Mom Mary

Chatham sorry to hear that your problems are continuing. Healing kittie vibes to you.
We're sorry you're not feeling well, Chatham. We hope the new medicine works. We're sending prayers and headbutts your way. Take care of yourself!
We are hoping for the best for Chatham. The Giggy is wishing very hard that everything works out for his buddy. Even the Evil!Troll is keeping her fingers crossed for him (as is the Unfortunate!Mistress and Missy the Fluffy Kitten).
We are sorry at our house too. We really want Chatham to feel better. Purrs!
As a wise cat once said "this getting old stuff isn't for Siamese or was that Sissies?" ...I don't hear so well anymore on top of everything else. But 10 more days of antibiotics? Man. That will get rid of whatever is ailing you. Hope you're feeling better real soon! Alberta (et al)
Oh Chatham, we are furry sorry you aren't feeling any better. I will start purring for you in my window so that you feel much better.
Could the abx be making him a little nauseated?
I hope for all my heart, that in next post you are far better.
A lot of Purssssss, force and good vibrations from Spain.
Bladder infecshuns are not fun. They makes people really sick nefurmind cats. It takes really strong antibiotics to knock that buggy out. Purrs to you. We will say purrayers that you will feel better reel soon.
I'm sorry to hear this. I hope Chatham will start feeling better. lots of love an purrs,
Mia
How is Chatham doing? The Giggy misses him very much.
Poor Chatam, those Aunties Biotics are so hard on the systems, but you need them. Just make sure to drink A LOT and always eat somefing when you take them. Gets betters ~Merlin, Shadow, Ko KO
I am glad it is getting better. I hope this is the last round of medicine.
