It seems that your stray cat is still experiencing some bleeding despite completing a course of medication for a urinary issue. Continuing symptoms like this can be concerning and warrant further investigation.
- Monitor your cat's symptoms closely
- Persistent blood in urine can indicate a more complex issue
- Consult with a vet to ensure comprehensive care
Even though your cat has finished the medication, the persistence of blood in the urine could indicate that the underlying issue wasn't fully resolved, or that there is a new or different problem that needs attention. It's also possible that the initial diagnosis needs re-evaluation. Other causes could range from bladder stones to infections, or even stress-related issues. Your best course of action would be to take her back to the vet for a follow-up examination to ensure she receives the appropriate care.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
