Cat health
I forgot to mention that Melbcat still has her uti. It came back (or rather never left) after a 3 week blast of strong antibiotics that are only meant to be prescribed for 1 week max. I’ve been informed that the resistant bacteria could prove dangerous to me as well if they continue giving her antibiotics and they’ve decided to focus on symptom management. This fucking sucks. I briefly considered pursuing dodgy alternative medicine but it’s not worth the risks.

That sucks and I’m sorry. UTIs are notorious, I’m not surprised that the vets are concerned about antibiotic resistant bacteria infecting you, zoonotic infections can turn nasty so so quickly.
If you trust your vets, then it’s worth following their advice. Otherwise you could try a second opinion.
Do not use alternative medicine for melbcat. Cats have so many intolerances and ingesting something “natural” that may have (at minimum) pesticides on it can lead to neurotoxicity. Trust yourself and your support network (vets, nurses) and if you want another opinion seek another vet.
You got this Melb, it’s gonna be alright and you’re doing great 💜💜

I know they’re doing the right thing. I’m just scared of the infection spreading up to her kidneys.
They’re focusing on her comfort and have said if she starts showing symptoms to bring her back in for a recheck. I’m just not sure what the plan is. Perhaps we can retry the antibiotic she’s allergic to and then treat the resulting issues.
I won’t be pursuing alternative ‘medicine’. That was a moment of desperation and weighing the risks against her age. I’ve read up on the thing I briefly considered and it’s not worth it.
I do have D Mannose which the vets have approved, but that’s only effective against E. coli and she has a different strain. The Cystapro (cranberry extract and probiotic supplement) was bought from the vet but I have no idea if it does much.
I’ve bought some beef and will make her some broth to keep her drinking heaps of fluids.

Turns out a stomach bug is going through the house so I’ve decided to work from home instead off risking what would have otherwise been an interesting work trip to round out the year. I went in and showed my manager how to use some of our camera equipment so I’m praying we get some decent shots that I can turn around before the end of the day

It’s raining. I guess all that garden watering this morning wasn’t necessary.

Have burnt out the fan. Might need to get out the camp bed for downstairs, but that means moving the 8000kg coffee table.
