Prayers please for Willy (UPDATE! POST #13

[rg_girlca]

Hi everyone.

I am sorry that I haven't been around lately, but I've been very busy and dealing with some personal problems, but if you could spare some prayers for Willy I would really appreciate it.

I noticed late last night that Willy kept going in and out of the litter boxes and when I would go and check, there was either nothing or just a very small amount of pee. When I got up this morning to call the vet, I noticed dripples of pee mixed with blood on top of my washing machine. He has an appointement with the vets this afternoon. He doesn't look too well this morning and is obviously blocked.

So I am asking for the famous PT prayers, that he has a full and speedy recovery.

I will update later, when I get back from the vets.

Prayers that Willy is all better soon!

Hopefully they can pass a wee catheter and give him some instant relief!

He may have to be on a new food - actually, grain free food is supposed to keep the urine pH at a crystal-preventing level(according to a vet at my clinic). Ask your vet too!

It's a bit pricier, but saves $ on vet visits!

Looking forward to good news on Willy!

OH NO!! Not our Willy! Why are making you wait til this afternoon? He needs to be seen NOW! If he is blocked, time is critical! Oh my! I am praying for our Willy and going off to lite a candle for him! Good vibes and thoughts are on their way!

Prayers and good thoughts for Willy. I hope the vets can get him un-blocked and make him more comfortable. Poor baby.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Oh no Willy, I hope that the vet can "de-block" you asap!!!

[Medusa]

Oh goodness, I've never experienced this w/my males, only my calico Puddy and it was a bladder infection that cleared up easily. I do hope that Willy isn't blocked but if he is, he'll be healed quickly and easily.

Poor Willy. I hope he is all better soon. I know how stressful it is to have sick babies.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Well wishes wee widdle Willy!!!

[Randi]

Fister and I send our sympathy, it's no fun being blocked. I hope the vet can do something about it ASAP. He may need a catheter right away, and then an S/D diet.

Sending lots of positive thoughts.

We ceetainly are with Laura on this thread when we saw that it was Our Little Willy the tiny Stray who has become such a Huge Favorite on Pet Talk we were stunned and saddened as Willy is not all that old a Cat!!!

But Thank God, nis Meeeowmie noticed this right away, and got Willy to the White Coats where we PRAY that they can make Our Gentle Giant all right!!!
Prayers are coming from ALL OF US AT THE FOUND CAT HOTEL

Thank you all for your well wishes on our Willy and yes Gary, your Gentle Giant who weighs in now at a hefty 16.8 lbs. Can we say "Diet time."

The vet was able to express his bladder and get a sample to test it for any crystals.

Good news.......NO CRYSTALS!!!!!!! He has a bad bladder infection though. He will be on Baytril, 1/4 of a pill a day for 16 days.

Thank you again everyone and now I must go and start cutting up the pills in 1/4 pieces.

[catmandu]

Thats Wonderful News that Willys problem is not a serious one , and that his Vets are on the case now!!!

Good luck on breaking a pill in quarters , when My Vet says that I ask for meds that are gel that I can paste on thier lips as I am tres vieux to be able to break pills without crushing them!!!!

Again we are sending Prayers for Wonderous Willy , Your Gentle Giant, and the Animal Angels will bring Willy Sea Food , Low Cal of coirse drom the Experience at Koela Club in Lanai Hawaii.
WE LOVE WILLY HERE!!!

Oh that is good news! A bladder infection can be easily cleared up and quickly, too. They can be pretty painful so the meds will help w/that as well. Feel better, Willy.
