Question. Please read. (update: Doesn't seem good...)

[slleipnir]

I got a call from the vet.

They gave him a shot of something to relax his urethra. He was able to pee a little this afternoon, but not anymore. The vet can empty his bladder by squeezing it, but it's not a solid stream. She said his bladder isn't as firm as before, which is good. They're going to give him the drug again and leave it over night. If, by morning, he is not doing well then they will cath him again.

If there is a god, then please, please help my boy!

Prayers that this will work for dear Butter!

At least they are trying to spare him the cath procedure...hope the drug will work better!

How's Butter?

[slleipnir]

He's ok for now. I wasn't planning on updating anymore. I feel some of you are awful rude and don't seem to see how difficult this is for me.

Kimmy, thank you for asking about him. I'm holding off on either surgery or another cath for now. He is peeing little bits, and the vet said as long as he is peeing SOMETHING then it's good. If he stops peeing for more than 8hrs...take him in. He was pretty playful the other night, and acting more like himself...but that was just after he came back from the vet with an empty bladder. He's been going back and forth from the vet almost everyday. It's really stressing him out, but he's handling things really well. Things don't seem to bother him as much as it might for most cats. We're hoping he will continue to pee more and more. The vet said it's not uncommon for cats to not pee right after being unblocked. Butter, however, is more of an extreme case. So at this point, it can go either way. He has an appointment on thursday for his heart and a urine check.

Here are some pictures I took.


He sleeps a lot...





His eyes look funny cause I tried to fix them

Awww...I didn't notice the shaved bit on his front leg before. Lots of get-better kisses from Meowmie?

Prayers for healing to continue, and for Butter to be as good as ever.

What a beautiful shiney boy!

Thank you for the update, Audrey. It's great to see some pics of your Butter boy. He is such a handsome cat. I really hope everything will be ok with him, let us know how the appointment on thursday goes.

Thanks for the update. I've been thinking about him and wondering how he was doing. He sure is a very handsome boy and I hope that he continues to pee. Lots of positive vibes are going out to him for Thursday's vet visit. I'll also continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care.

I've been thinking about you and Butter a lot. I have been checking this thread but I just don't know what to say except that I'm very sorry that you are going through this. I know that you will do whatever you can for him and I'll support whichever decision you make.
