Female Cat

Increased thirst can be a symptom of diabetes, also kidney disease. High lymphycyte levels is symptomatic of lymphosarcoma.Difficulty walking can be a symptom of diabetes(Is your cat overweight?),heart disease,nephritis,and several other diseases. When your cat had her teeth removed there may have been an infection still present that, undealt with, caused the kidneys to become infected or in some way seriously compromised the kidneys. You would need to find out, first of all, if your cat has diabetes(you may be able to find this out by going to a drugstore and getting those little test strips used for humans-you collect the urine-when she goes in the litter box, collect it, put it in a container, add a little water, swish it around, strain the liquid off and use that to dip the test strip in- follow the directions on the box). Secondly you would need to find out concerning your cat's heart and kidney function. Sometimes in heart disease a clot can form in one of the arteries leading from the two back legs which leads to eventual paralysis.There are things that can be given if a pet had difficulty walking but not when the cause is stemming from diabetes,heart disease or kidney disease/failure.That needs to be dealt with first. What you need is information as to your cat's condition and you need it ASAP. Any delay only compounds the problem.

To clarify re collecting the urine sample: just scoop it up- kitty litter and all, put it in a container, add just enough water to be able to strain it off, swish it around so it's a mixture of 90 percent urine and 10 percent water, and dip the test strip in that.

Give causticum 200c single dose.

What all shots has she had in the past? And if she got shots did she get sick later on after them? Like a mild cold or fever months after. Are her kidney and liver numbers okay? High WBC means she is fighting an infection. I ask this because I have a cat with different symptoms to some extent and is dying from FIP. FIP takes on many forms and is extremely difficult to diagnose. I have read where it affects the legs. Her drinking could be from kidneys getting weakened. Also, did they test her for FIV, FELUK, and FIP?

The water has its own PH which will alter the results. I just look for the wet spots in the litter box and squish the ph paper in it. The ph strip I use comes on a roll and has a wide range so I can better fix the animals problem.

I have not ever found that the water ph affected the reading. The test strips I'm referring to are best dipped once into the urine solution, waiting 30 seconds then taking a reading. Once you have added just enough water to the collection of cat litter/urine swirl it around ,drain off the liquid and dip the test strip into it. Just pushing the test strip into the wet spots may not give you an adequate enough read.
