I am currently house sitting for my mom. Her cat Happy is at least 15 years old that I know of (got her as a stray). She has been Indoors ever since and has dealt with kidney problems several times. Last week she woke up and saw little spots of urine with blood in it and knew her problem was back so she took her to the vet. He gave her albon suspension to give 2 cc once daily and also crush up some vitamin C in her food. She’s taken the medicine and eaten her food every day since…but this morning I awoke to the tiny puddles of urine with blood in it again. I gave her the albon and some food but she hasn’t touched it and has barely drank any water today. A few hours ago she went up to my mom’s closest where it’s cool and she goes a lot and has been laying in there. I brought water up to her and keep checking on her but don’t know if she’s drank any. She’s alert in the face/head just not really moving her body much and purrs when I’m in there.
I’m afraid something bad is going to happen. My mom is out of town for business so I can’t get a hold of her right now…and I know that if I did she would just sit and worry until she comes home tomorrow. Happy is all she’s had since I moved out. Do you have any advice at all for me? Are there ever relapses within a treatment for kidney infections? I know people will say take her to the vet but I’m not even sure what he could do for her right now. I’ve been researching all morning on the internet and thought I’d try asking this community before I do anything.
Thanks
The vet is my plan if she doesn’t get noticeably better in a couple hours. I just thought I’d try on here first. And she is on antibiotics.

I am 23 years old and miserable! Whenever I am unhappy I become physically ill and my weird illnesses seem to better or worsen in direct correlation with my unhappiness/depression. There has been a wide range of ailments ranging from the common cold to kidney infections. The longer I’m unhappy, the worse they get or the more things I get. Things that should require ongoing medical treatment like growths or large cysts seem to vanish miraculously after a short time of me being happy. Its maddening! Even my doctor acknowledges it. What is this and why is it happening to me?

Okay, I’ll start from the beginning. I am 15… and when I was born I would always have UTIs and Kidney infections… they did surgery when I was like 6 or 7. Supposedly it was taken care of. About a week and a half ago, when I would use the bathroom it would hurt to pee. Like a UTI. And then a couple days later my sides hurt around to my back in the kidney area. They’ve continued to hurt. I went to the doctor today and they did a UA and they found like… blood. And so they said if the pain continues then, they are going to check for kidney stones.
SO! I’ve been reading about it and the treatment and everything and in a lot of places it says that the pain is severe, probably the most painful thing next to childbirth.
Do you think I have Kidney Stones?
Is there anyway to pass it without severe pain?
And whoever answers this… Please be really experienced or a doctor.
