Well, there's an exercise in frustration for you. I don't like the
idea of them having to extract the urine sample from the bladder, it
seems very stressful to put her through that. I'd avoid it, if I
could. Don't wait too long though. I'd put some sort of time limit on
giving the things you're trying time to work. If it's possible to know
exactly why Lucy's experiencing these symptoms, there may be a
relatively quick fix. I'm sorry I didn't do some more drastic
intervention with Gypsy when she was healthier. I wish I had a
reliable crystal ball to help me make some of the decisions around here.

It's a good idea. I'll try it if I have to, if the Baytril does
not do the trick. The problem is I need to sit with her and wait,
because she is with 2 others and I do not want to sample their urine
instead. I waited over 30 minutes with the Nosorb pellets and I could
tell she really needed to go, but she refused until I finally put her
litter back and then she ran in the box and went.

when I was
trying in vain to get a liquid stool sample from Gypsy. Because the
litter was too absorbent, she suggested using tiny aquarium stones in
the litter box. Do you think Lucy would comply with that?
