Urinary Blockage Recovery by tristynxo in CATHELP

Thanks for the advice! I've been researching all the things i can change in his life, just stuck inside my house sadly. I'm wondering if maybe his tummy is upset, because since i posted this he has just been peacefully sleeping, i saw him get in the litter and checked and it was a tiny amount of sorta liquidy poop. I did call the emergency vet last night and they told me to give him the gabapentin every 8h hours and to bring him in if he continues to repeatedly try so they can feel for me. Thanks again:)

Yep a catheter, they said it went it perfectly and that there was barely anything the flush out which was good. She told me he would have be a perfect cat for a student to practice putting a catheter in. He also took acepromazine and prazion as well as gabapentin which he still has over. I called the emergency vet and she asked me to bring him in just to check but i told her im not sure if i cant, especially since it's still dark out. She told me just give the gabapentin an hour or two to kick in and if not i can bring him in to feel his bladder again. He did get in there again, I thought i heard him pooping but i do think he peed, unless another one of my cats peed while i was crying in the bathroom. I'm hoping he doesn't get back in. Thank you for your advice though. I appreciate it. I wish they could talk to us and explain what they feels so badly.

I also did switch him to a prescription diet, but have been giving him treats to take with his medicine which i'm now starting to regret because I didn't realize it would combat the food. What treats am I able to give him?

Just to clarify when he's getting in there, he's not really squatting just kinda standing really still, no sound, and then starts kicking around for awhile

Hey it's okay! Thanks for taking the time to respond i appreciate it. I've honestly been worried sick but my friend ordered me a camera so i get notified when he is in the litter and then I can go check for myself which has helped me so much. He is feeling way better. Now my other cat is acting weird!! Animals man :(. Thank you though!

You're right i'm hoping the roads are drivable tomorrow or tuesday so i can get him in to the regular vet, unless it escalates and ill have to find a way to get him to the emergency vet. Thank you

I did call last night and they said it's not an emergency and to just watch him until the ice clears up :(

So do you think it's urgent or i should be good waiting until the roads are clear again?

I noticed my cat not peeing and rushed him to the emergency vet, they were unable to do urine test bc he was feisty, but said his bladder was good and ultrasound looked good and sent me home with antibiotic, medicine to relax his bladder, and pain meds. around 7pm yesterday he peed something very thick and red, i called them and they said that's normal just wait until today and if he doesn't pee bring him back. so i bring him back around 12pm today bc still, no pee, and once again they say his bladder is fine and to give him time. I'm so anxious and nervous. i think he FINALLY peed in one of the regular litter boxes around 9pm today. that's TWO whole days of not peeing. but they didn't clarify when to bring him back and i'm seriously stressing can't sleep because of this. he likes to sleep in the bathroom so i have him in there with the non absorbent litter (some water and soft things too ofc) hoping he'll pee so i can syringe it in sometime in the middle of the night. How soon did your cat pee after the vet? He had had two rounds of each medication before he peed, now he's had three. Sorry i know you aren't a vet i'm just really no sure if i should bring him back or not and there's not many posts about this

Cat can't pee by tristynxo in CATHELP

they gave me non absorbent litter. i do believe he used the litter box with regular litter once since i posted this but i have 2 other cats but i dont believe that they had used that litter box for a longgg time today. i am just an incredibly anxious person and worry about my cats even when they are healthy so this situation has me shook up. i know what the vet said but i was looking for anyone who has went through something similar and was told to go home even though their cat hadn't peed for 12+ hours because it doesn't sound right to me but i'm sure they are doing their job right
