I need some PT prayers and positive thoughts from everyone please. At around 8pm I noticed that Storm was jumping in and out of his litter box and seemed to be straining while he tried to do his business. I thought he might be constipated or have diarrhea at first but I was wrong. He was actually trying to pee but very little was able to come out. He then peed on one of his blankets and there was some blood in it. I called one of the emergency vet numbers and was told to bring him in right away.
They took a urine sample and told me that he has blood in his urine. He may have a UTI but they aren't sure yet. I should know the results in about an hour or so. The vet said I caught it very early so she's giving him subcutaneous fluids, antibiotics, and something to help ease his bladder so he'll hopefully pee on his own. He has to stay overnight and if all goes well I can pick him up in the morning.
If he can't pee on his own then they'll need to catheterize him and keep him until monday morning or until he's unblocked. She's not sure if it's due to crystals or not. It may also be stress related. Any way I need some powerful PT prayers to help my Storm get well again. Thanks in advance and I'll try to keep you updated as much as I can. This is going to be a long night.
