:( I can't believe this is happening...

Max started urinating blood today, his sister has been puking and had severe diheriah for the last month and both were just recenelty switched off the hills vet food brand weight control which was just recalled ( as max our neutered male tabby had had crystals in the past). Mitten went to a vet first 3 weeks ago and was given anti-inflammitory and anti-nausia pills which made no difference in her condition. She went back last thursday and was switched to stronger meds but the vet strongly believes it is either irritable bowel syndrom or lymphomia which we just lost our boxer to in october.

At first I thought the blood was from mitten and a possible side effect from her new stronger meds which have been working ( which confirms that she either has irritable bowel syndrom or lymphomia) as there was only a small amount in the urine in the litter box mitten normally uses. However later on I saw max in it and just as I was about to move him to his litter box he urinated almost 70% blood.

All of the vets are closed tonight but were going early tommorow on my mom's lunch break as I have a third spare and get out at the same time but I dunno I'm worried alot of cats have already died from that vet hills recall and Max's symptoms deffiently match poisoning.

I thought there was a 1 800 number for Menu Foods. If you could find a number for Hill's. I would call and see if they could give you any suggestions on what to do untill the vet opens. Good Luck
