Pouncer at the vet

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad that Pouncer is finally home now and that he likes his new food. I also hope that the meds will help him so he'll feel better soon. Hopefully he won't become blocked and won't need the PU surgery.

Storm can sympathize with Pouncer because he was also at the vets today and they couldn't get a urine sample from him either because his bladder was also empty. He had to stay until this evening and they had to give him some sub-q fluids so they could get a sample. I'll hopefully know the results tomorrow.

HA! Hills w/d is JUST what you cats need....it is a weight loss formula.....snicker, snicker......

(sorry, could not help myself)

Now I have a question, did they ever x-ray him to actually SEE if he has more stones? Rutherford had NO crystals, but yet he had 3 stones, 2 IN the urethra causing the blockage, and a large one in the bladder just waiting to cause problems.

I sure hope that Pouncer can get better SOON.

I'm glad Pouncer is feeling better. Stones are nasty. I had a foster who had one removed; it was about 5 mm! She could have never passed it on her own.

ha ha ha Jen! Yes, I am well aware of it being a weight management food! Believe it or not, they were already on a weight management food... so imagine if they were NOT.

As for more stones, the vet douibts there are any, just that perhaps he had one. They asked me if I wanted ot go to the expense of Xrays now, or wait and see how he is on the meds, and do it when I return in 3 weeks. Considering my finainces (hit with $800 worth of bills in one day for car and cell phone and Pouncer) I am going to watch him closely. Thank goodness I work from home so I can be there all the time
