Well we just got back from the vet. First of all, she was weighed and weighs 6 lbs 3 oz. Lion weighs 6 lbs and is 2 inches taller then her. She has gained 1 POUND in a month... I must be delusional because I honestly thought she was thin. Needless to say we will be cutting back on the food a bit!
They did an ultrasound and extracted urine from her bladder with a needle. The vet said it is possible she has a UTI or it could just be behavioral. He is trying to grow bacteria in the sample overnight and will let me know tomorrow what the results are.

Did he put her on antibiotics yet? I would also have him check for crystals in the urine...that's unlikely, but it can cause similar symptoms to a UTI.

The vet didn't start Penny on antibiotics yet... I didn't ask about looking for crystals but when he calls tomorrow I can.

Ugh, still no phone call from the vet and they are now closed. They will be open tomorrow so I will be calling first thing in the morning to find out the results. I am guessing they either didn't call because there is no infection, or they started an antibiotic sensitivity test on the culture to decide which antibiotic to use. Either way, they said they were going to call today... Also, I thought UTIs need to be treated right away, so I am not sure why they didn't start her on medicine.
Edit: I guess I was mistaken. The vet is no longer open on Saturdays... Now I have to wait until Monday to find out!
