I hope Pouncer is back home soon and that they find a way to get this under control for him without the surgery. The surgery doesn't solve the problem, just gets rid of the life-threatening symptoms!
Pete had the surgery almost four years ago. He was just a baby too when he started blocking. He had at least four full blockages before surgery was suggested. For a long time after, his symptoms continued. I kept telling myself as I cleaned up pee that at least he could pee now! As he's aged, his symptoms have reduced dramatically. My vet told me that often cats who develop IFLUTD young outgrow it as they age.
My vet can't do the surgery. Pete had to fly to a teaching clinic in Saskatchewan. He was gone for three weeks as he had to recover quite a bit before he could fly. That was the worst part I think, being away from him while he was sick, even worse than the bill!. However, I would do it again without hesitation. Hopefully, it won't come to surgery for Pouncer though!
