I took The Ever Beautiful Betsy off to see Aunty Rachel this afternoon as she (Betsy) has had wee pants for the last few days. Aunty Rachel had a good old feel of Betsy's bladder (very gently) and Betsy wasn't half complaining and was clearly very uncomfortable. Rachel suspects a bladder stone as Betsy's bladder felt very hard. Betsy is now on 0.25ml of Sulfatrim for 7 days and if she doesn't get better (as in no wee pants) after 7 days, Rachel recommends a scan of her bladder. Rachel said that Betsy's bladder felt hard but that could have been because Betsy was tensing that area up as she was objecting to being examined in such a sensitive area. Let's hope it's just a UTI and it clears up. I'm really hoping it's not a stone that has to be removed. Betsy is nearly 6 years old and I would have to think long and hard about putting her through an operation at such an advanced age.
 
Best of luck to the beautiful Betsy, really hope it clears up with these antibiotics and it doesn’t have to go further, healing wheeks and love from me and my two xx
 
Priscilla, Phoebe and Micah would like the Ever Beautiful Betsy to know that they all hope she gets better soon.
 
Toff, Fudge, Chanel and Coco (and slave) have their paws (and fingers) crossed that it’s a UTI and not a stone. Hope you feel better soon Meg. Lots of kisses, Toff 🙄
 
Hugs to you and Betsy from Sandy, Penny, Chippy, and Suzy.
 
Sending hugs to Betsy and her little wee wee pants! I hope she is feeling better soon and her medication does the trick!
 
Percy said he hopes Betsy is feeling better soon. He’s sending over healing vibes. 😍
 
Fingers crossed for poor Betsy! Not what you want to hear at the best of time and certainly not so close to the holidays. :(
 
Poor Betsy, you're still beautiful 🤗😘get well soon so you have floofy winter pyjamas instead
 
How is Betsy doing this morning? Hope she was a good girl for slave.
 
Lovely Betsy, I hope she’s feeling better soon and I hope you’re doing ok.
 
Betsy wasn't keen on taking her Sulfatrim this morning as it wasn't the correct smell or taste as only Metacam should ever arrive via syringe. She still took it and after the Metacam arrived and she was a happy girl. An hour later she had a couple of syringes of Pro C and as Meg wanted some too, Meg got a syringe full too as it's not going to do her any harm.
 
Good girl Betsy. It’s disgusting but good for you 😘
 
Aww lots of love to The Ever Beautiful Betsy from my lot and me! Hope it’s just a uti and the yakky medicine fixes you right up. X
 
Betsy has one or two more doses of yukky Sulfatrim left and no longer has wee pants so the Sulfatrim has cleared up the UTI. She still doesn't like taking it and I have to make her have it which I really don't like to do as I don't believe in forcing animals to do anything they don't want to do but it's a case of having to or Betsy won't get better. Sometimes we have to be cruel to be kind I suppose. I think we will both be glad when I don't have to give her any more antibiotics.
