Rickiesmom Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Don't beat yourself up Devon. Spraying isn't an obvious sign of a urinary problem. Straining and peeing outside the box in tiny amounts - those are the classic symptoms. Most importantly, he's at the vet in time and the problem is being taken care of, thanks to you.

Guest CindiLuvsGreys Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I had the same problem with my male cat. He was fine the night before and that morning (Sunday of course) he was crying and trying to pee. They unblocked him and we changed his diet. 5 years later and no problems. Many prayers on the way for a speedy and easy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Redpack Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Been there too. Marble spend last Easter Sunday at the vet....Fortunately, he wasn't blocked all the way and running the catheter through cleared him enough to go home with some pain medication and antibiotics. I would appreciate anyone here mentioning the brand of food they are using for this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CindiLuvsGreys Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 All 10 of my cats eat Innova Evo. I originally was feeding Iams original and after adopting a Diabetic cat I switched to the Evo. No problems with either food. Been there too.

Guest Tenderhearts Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Just talked to the vet and he's doing well today, and urinating on his own He's on an IV for fluids, and she would like to keep him till tomorrow just to make sure he continues to urinate okay. She had just gotten urine for the UA when I called, so she'll run that next. She suspects struvite crystals. We will be starting him on the C/D food when he comes home. I have to admit, I really miss the holy terror, the digging in my sugar canister after he knocks the lid off, pawing in the water container for the pets till it sloshes all over the floor, and just generally being a pain in the a$$! Thank you so much for all the good thoughts and prayers!

Guest Tenderhearts Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'm leaving to pick Riley up in a bit and bring him home! :clap He does have antibiotics to take, and a bag of the C/D food. She's applying the $150 website fee to my bill and said she would be glad to work with me on the remaining balance. Thank you Lord for this vet I'll get more specifics when I pick him up as far as what the UA showed. Captain Pinknose will be home to wreak havoc and terrorize brother Oreo once again!

Guest beerdogs31 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Good luck!! My cat Willis has had this problem as well. It has been controlled by diet and he hasn't had a problem in over a year now. Hope you feel better soon Riley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tenderhearts Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 He's delirious to be home After the initial sniffing by everyone ('Ma, he smells funny ), he's wandered around, got a big drink, plopped down in the middle of the kitchen, and now has moved over to his favorite spot in front of the ratty boyz cage He has incredibly thick fur, so hopefully his hair will grow back quickly where they shaved for the IV.
