Phred, Boots, Cinder and Smokey, we have all our finger, legs, paws and everything else we can manage crossed for Boots to get well real soon.

Phred,
I went through the same thing with our cat Marty not even a year ago. Here is the link I posted then.

I reread the thread and it doesn't mention that eventually Marty did have surgery. He is fine now and is on the Hill's Prescription UT food. The high ash content causes stones to develop and being on a low ash and magnesium diet is the best preventative medicine to gaurd against it reoccuring (per my vet).

It is scarey when they try to pee but nothing happens except some blood spots. Please know that boots is in my prayers that everything will work out and he will be soon back to his good old self!
