Duchess is in

[cjsmith]

I have no idea why my vet said to confine her to a room without a litterbox. She is way past the stage of caring whether there's a litterbox around. I found her sitting in her own puddle. My poor girl. She is usually so clean and tidy. She's not even trying now.

But she's in at the vet's as of eight this morning, where they'll watch her for a sample. Fingers crossed.

Poor kitty.

We just went through that ourselves with the addition that our guy was a little blocked up. The emergency vet removed the blockage, gave us clavamox for the infection, and a little valium to help him deal with the discomfort. They thought he was having bladder spasms, too. Valium is supposed to be good for that. Once he started feeling better, he'd just let loose a full bladder whenever and where ever for the first couple of days. No fun, indeed, and also very not like him.

Oh yow! I'm glad he's over that part. He must have been all discombobulated. Duchess has been a bit upset because she *knows* where urine is supposed to go, yet she can't live by the rules any more.

I'll offer a tip on a product. I've never seen it in stores, only on TV, but it really, really works: Zero Odor. I was a devoted fan of Nature's Miracle for the last decade, but Zero Odor is a vast improvement*.



*My caveat being that when you first spray it (you mist it onto surfaces), it has an odor that smells to me like a cross between bleach and sperm. Thankfully, the odor doesn't last long and gets bleachier as it fades out.

Oo, better than Nature's Miracle? I'm a Nature's Miracle devotee. So where does one get this Zero Odor product?

http://www.zeroodor.com/ is where I've bought it. I've heard that some stores are carrying it now, but I've not seen it in any where I live.


We still keep a little nature's miracle around. If one of them were to let loose on something thick and fabric-y, I'm not as sure that the zero odor would penetrate through as well as nature's miracle. I haven't had to test that, fortunately. For surface areas like carpet, tile, or hardwood, the zero odor seems to work better. Likewise for thin fabrics. During his bladder distress, Romeo peed on one of my t-shirts. The Zero Odor worked on it.

Thanks! That's all good info. I'll get myself some of that stuff.
