Remo got good news at the vet today.

If you read my previous post I was stressing out because Remo threw up and was having diarrhea all night. We went to the vet today and although he didn't find a clear reason for the diarrhea, he found that Remo has a urinary infection. He has been dribbling pee and not being able to control it. I was afraid he was becoming incontinant or having kidney problems. We got antibiotics for that and meds for the diarrhea. I had to take my 22 year old cat to the vet last Friday and found out he also has a urinary tract infection. He's on antibiotics also. It's not a contagious thing but kinda weird they got it at the same time.
I've been stressed thinking I was going to have to put Remo to sleep soon but our vet, who I trust more than anyone in the world, said Remo is very healthy but he just can't walk much. He said although the decision is mine he doesn't think Remo needs to be put down yet. GREAT NEWS!!!! It's like taking care of an elderly person but as long as he can hang on I can continue to do it, happily.
Thank you to those of you who responded to my last post. While we go to the lake, Remo does not actually go down to the water so he doesn't drink lake water. He can't walk that far. He just likes to lay on the porch at the camper in the shade and enjoy all the attention he gets from us and our friends. I took a couple of cute pics.
I feel like a huge dark cloud has been lifted.

:clappurple: Great news! Get well Remo!
That is really great news !!
I am glad that it turned out to be a UTI. In older human beings, a UTI can really affect all aspects of behavior and can make someone with no dementia or mild dementia seem to be much worse off than they are without the UTI. So it makes perfect sense to me that your boy seemed to be doing so poorly.

With any kind of luck, he will soon be on the mend and still have some good days.
I am glad to hear that you found out what was wrong with Remo and a simple solution. The pups just love to lay around and see what other folks are doing. Hugs to Remo
