Update: Beauregard visited the vet this morning and we were told that so far it is nothing to be concerned with. As MrsSkoorb explained to me my wife specifically asked if it was raised and after the examination she was told it was not. Our vet seems to think it is a pigmentation spot due to aging and nothing for us to worry about at this time. Be sure to let us know how it turns out with Polly MrsSkoorb.

AmusedOne: How did it go with Buddy's urinary tract problem?

He's back home now. They found a high amount of struvite crystals in his urine and prescribed presription diet C/D-S to help lower his urine Ph level. Luckily, he likes the stuff.

He also had a mild bladder infection, but I can't get him to take his meds (I was stupid and thought liquid would be easier than pills) so I have to go back monday I ask for another way to give it to him.

Also, he gained two freakin' pounds since his last visit in Nov. He weighs 15.8 lbs now :Q That Iams "weight control" food is nothing of the sort. In a few weeks I'll have to start severely limiting his food intake.

I've always found liquid easier to give rather than pills. How do you pill yours so that it's easy?

It generally takes 2 of us to give meds to our cats. We have one we have to pill nightly and we just stuff him in a pillow case with just his head sticking out. I hold him while my wife opens his mouth and drops the pill on the back of his tongue. Blowing lightly into his nose helps get him to swallow it.

I've tried the restraint and the blowing. All I got was a tongue stuck out at me with the pill deposited neatly on the end.

The ones that insist on doing that get the next level of torture, the pill shooter. :Q

That is great to hear that it is just pigmentation! Polly is only just 4...she is too young to have spots due to aging yet....we shall know on Thursday. If yours is not raised, that I too, would not be worried. Just get it checked every 6 months to a year. Polly's was never raised until now!
