Default Licky's back at vet today

wrote in message
...
Despite about 2 months of giving him special c/d food, and not letting
him eat any more dry food, Licky still has some blood in his urine.
He doesn't appear to be straining - at least I haven't seen him going
in and out of the litterbox every 5 minutes, which is what happens when
he's straining. I know he has blood because I've been seeing the little
droplets of it on the bathroom floor.

So, he's back at you-know-where today, having yet another urinalysis.
If they can manage it, they will take a culture to see if there's an
infection. If they still can't find anything, I'll have to schedule an
ultrasound, but I'm hoping that won't be necessary.

Joyce, please be sure it is an infection and not just fleas - yep you read
right, fleas! Flea poo is nothing but dried blood and when it gets in a
moist environment, like a bathroom, it turns into little blood droplets. I
don't know about where you live, but here in Houston it's already the
beginning of flea season.
