炎炎夏日除了吃冰外沒好事
家裏的大貓Tippy突然尿道塞住了
噓不出來難過地喵喵叫
山大王心軟說要出錢讓Tippy去看獸醫
很擔心山大妞的貓--Tippy
還把牠抱到自己的床上
說要顧著牠整晚
媽咪查了網路上關於雄貓尿道發炎阻塞的治療法
也讓山大王看這些資料
讓他知道媽咪會想辦法照顧治療牠
Tippy貓會自己舔阻塞的尿道
但是會非常痛苦
山大妞拿了乾淨小毯子讓牠躺
Tippy還是整天喵喵叫痛
然後晚上乖乖地在"Stella窩裏"休養
把牠和Stella窩都弄髒後一個晚上
終於尿道通了
後來到處在硬冷的地板上亂尿尿讓媽咪和爸鼻知道
知道Tippy排尿有困難後
媽咪餵Tippy最喜歡的小魚和少量多餐的乾糧
也增加牠喝水的量和次數
過了一個晚上
Tippy雖然出現血尿
但是尿道通了不會有斃命的危險
媽咪試著用貓咪喜歡的柴魚片混半顆500mg的維他命C加水
知道貓不喜歡柑橘香味還是要試試看
果然Tippy不吃柴魚片維他命C水
爸鼻用treat沾柑橘味維他命C粉Tippy倒願意吃
媽咪隔天快去Walmart買Spring Valley,
100顆一罐無添加味的維他命C, 500mg
磨碎粉狀分兩天混在貓罐頭裏讓Tippy吃
果然血尿立刻改善些
過兩天就沒事了
只是清地毯,清地板,清Tippy弄髒的貓窩花了很大的功夫
接著就要訓練Tippy貓回去貓沙廁所上啦
但是牠不知道是為了不讓我們擔心還是
心中對到貓沙盆上廁所還有畏懼痛苦的記憶
每每要帶牠上樓上廁所牠都不依
就選我們眼睜睜地見牠高舉搖尾巴
對著牆或櫃子撒尿
清了地板還好除臭
但是躺枕或布窩就是洗了還是很難除漬除味
真是讓當初幫孩子爭取養貓的我
啞吧吃黃蓮......
