Aww that kinda cute about store memory while i was petting her... Hopefully it is memory :) She does look like she is happy/enjoying it while i am petting her lol. I am taking her to check it out with mouth and UTI (because she has it couple months ago and I am seeing pee spots so I know it is trouble not baby but I am taking them of them just in case if baby is the one has it.) I will let you guys know if anything wrong with them.

UPDATE: Trouble have came home :D She have UTI and some lung stuff- she has some sticky in lung (the doctor think it is allergies). So she gave me 2 meds one for UTI and lung. Dr. told me to give her Baby aspirin every 4th day cuz she was having pain for UTI... Poor trouble I didnt know she was in pain :cry: I have to take her back at the end of antibiotics I hope it will be gone. She had to have IV, X-RAY and pain med. I was soooooooooo excited to see her today :D and she was happy to go home and i brought her presents and even for baby(my other cat) but she wasnt her self until few hours and I dont blame her for not being her self.... The reason she was sick is because of the lung haze (that what dr said)... It cost me 173.00 that alot of money but it worth it for my cats. Well I just wanted to update for you guys. :)

Do not give the baby aspirin, aspirn in cats can be fatal. Call her and demand to know why the aspirin was suggested, since kitty is already on antibiotics, this should help reduce any inflammation that may be causing pain.

If kitty has a urinary tract infection, was a full urinalysis done to diagnose it, and were urinary crystals ruled out? If this wasn't done, I strongly advise you see a new, more experienced vet IMMEDIATELY.

I am skeptical about your vet's theory about the lungs, assuming she told you kitty's lungs are congested. If they are congested, I highly doubt this is a result of allergies, she needs to rule out asthma or a bacterial infection in the lungs....Call her and ask her to explain this to you more clearly, or, if she can't explain it, see a new more experienced vet ASAP.

Yea I have gave her but I stop since she threw up so I was like no way i am giving it to her because she was so sick and so I am going to call her tmw since vet is already closed. Yea they have done full urinalysis. I have no idea about crystal but she said that trouble is in alot of pain so she told me to give her baby aspirin every 4th days. I have heard trouble went to bathroom and she was screaming so I was scared and i went to store to get baby aspirin and i barely gave her any since she was white forming coming out of mouth and i stop and thought that isnt normal. I will ask her about lung and i think it is asthma because she was wheezing and open mouth and but morning she threw up and i think there something wrong and she said that she think it allergies... she said that she took X-RAY and she said everything look fine but she said that there was haze in lung i am not sure what she mean that i assume that there sticky stuff in lung and she gave me med for that. I will call her and ask her to explain clearly since i dont understand.

hhmmm...a haze in the lungs on the x-ray...I have been battling pneumonia for 3 weeks now, and that is what my x-rays look like....
is there ANY other vet in your area that is more competent than the one you are currently using?...

I am concerned about your cat screaming in pain when urinating...that is NOT good an I would not wait until tomorrow...she needs IMMEDIATE help...

I knw money is tight and you have to pay this yourself...but please try to work out something with the vet...or demand that your current vet get with it and do alot more tests and if she does not feel competent, then call someine in at her expense to help her determine what is wrong with your kitty...

There is one vet that is only for cat but i have no idea where is it and there is some of vets but i have went there to check it out but i have seen alot of dogs not many. There is one vet in my hometown but i hate it there cuz The vet is not good at all. That what i thought she has pneumonia but vet said she doesnt have it. The vet said that i should give him a baby aspirin for pain. She also told me to call her anytime for questions. This vet is the one I was confortable cuz she help out with money and when i went to get my cats check out and nothing wrong i dont have to pay anything. She kept trouble overnight to make sure trouble is okay since she was throwing up and she gave her IV and pain control and she wanted to keep eyes on her so she can understand about trouble feeling and take tests and took X-ray for trouble lung and stomach. I just thought she did very good job. Here I tell you what vet did ( i have a paper) She did Sub Q Fluids, Urinalysis, X-Ray, Hospitalization/Day-Observe, Clavamox Oral Suspension, and No-Sorb. When i went to pick up trouble and the vet gave the nurse bunch of paper to write a paper in computer and i was there for 30 mins and they said they has to get trouble ready cuz she was sleeping and they was giving her something and they put her in cage.
