I'm glad everything worked out in the end for you. I also went through a similar situation this weekend. We found some blood in our cats urine on Saturday, after losing our other cat to Kidney disease 18 months ago. Took him to the vet on Saturday, and they thought kidney disease as the likely scenario since urinary tract infections are uncommon in older male cats. We had them do the recommended panels and then waited while medicating him via a shotgun approach with orbifloxacin as an antibiotic, Prazosin to relax his urethra (strangely a common PTSD medication), and Buprenorphine for pain.
On Tuesday after a lot of stress the lab results came in, it's a urinary tract infection. This was great news in this case. The Orbifloxacin should take care of the infection, and they'll test his urine after the two week run of antibiotics to verify.
