Saturday at the vet

 Tanaka thinking about taking a walk outside of the vet's...he decided against it!
Asleep at home after his vet visit...

I decided to take Tanaka to the vet for a check-up. He has stopped peeing in front of my closet but decided last week, to pee at the side! So I thought before I do anything else, I should see if there is anything physically wrong with him. Who knows? He might have stones in his bladder or his urethra  or even an inflamed bladder! Of course he also pees in his litter as well so it is a puzzling situation all round.

Thankfully, his bladder was not swollen and it was empty when we did the x-ray. The vet gave him some antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory just in case. We were also advised not to use ordinary soap but instead to get one that uses enzymes as that has no ammonia in it. We also got a Felliway diffuser to spray on the places that he had peed on. I hope the pheromones work for the little guy. 

I have to monitor his habits for about 2 weeks. Let's hope its good news by then :)
