We had a sick kitty this morning. Our 14-year-old Ella was dripping light pink pee around the house, and she didn't seem to be herself. I took her to the animal hospital.
Chillin' by Daddy.
A special waiting area away from dogs. Such a nice idea!
Treats and bad teeth.
She crawled back into her carrier to get away from it all.
My wife first thought that it was a UTI, and the vet agreed. She's now on 2 pain killers and an antibiotic. She was obviously in so much pain after we got home - she wanted to sleep but couldn't. Finally, a few hours after starting her meds (and about 6 hours after heading to the vet), she fell asleep. Then she cleaned herself normally. Then she went downstairs for a snack. All good signs. Hopefully she's on the mend! We'd love for her to have a few more good years!

I'm so glad y'all were able to catch it fast and get her on meds. My sweet kitty used to get bladder infections and after about 3 in a row when he was younger, he had to go on prescription food. He's been fine since, but now that he's 13 I watch him like a hawk for any unusual behavior so I can get him to the vet early if anything is going on. I think older cats can be with us a long time! It's just a matter of catching these little things so they don't turn into a bigger issue due to their age! So glad she's already feeling better!
