The good news was that her kidney function has not decreased. She continues to be in the early stage of kidney failure. So the blood in the urine was from an infection and/or crystals. She was given the 2-week antibiotic shot and a shot for pain.
She was much more outgoing while on the pain shot, which leads me to believe she's more often in pain than I have been aware of.
I have to say that I hate that a cat has to be sedated in order to take a blood sample (required to assess kidney function).
Though it was inconsistent, adding liquid to her food helped, whether it was water or chicken broth or the turkey broth at the pet store. I mixed pumpkin with the turkey broth and both cats would finish it with food so I'm going to continue that going forward.
I also need to keep her on the urinary goo daily.
