Just keep doing what you're doing, which is your best. That's all you can do. Be sure to tell her while you're holding her to feed her that she's healing and getting better and better every day. Those healing words will take effect.

Blessings,

Well its official. She is NOT urinating. Even with my completely untrained fingers I can feel her bladder. Its HUGE. I stimulated her in many ways and even put her bottom under a warm trickle of water and stimulated her. I put her back with a wet but so mom is licking her like crazy too.

Why would she not pee with a full bladder, anyone know about this?? My sad guess is if she dont go it may rupture? *sigh* I wish I could do something. I rubbed her tummy with gentle pressure (not too much to possibly make it rupture..) Nothing will work.

I would be afraid if she don't get some urgent care, you are going to loose her.

Oh, the poor thing!! I hope someone know how to express the bladder, as I do not. SIGH!!! Poor girl! Can the vet tell you how to do it or what can be done in this situation??

[emilysgk]

I dont know what can be done. There is no way I can go to urgent care or I would have had her to the vet over the weekend. There just isnt a way.

ALL vets have an after hours emergence number. PLEASE call hon! If you need emerg care, we can chip in on it!

We'll pay for the taxi - she is blocked sweetie!

DOES ANYONE HERE LIVE NEAR EMILY??????

[Catty1]

I'm heartsick over this little kitty, who fought her URI so bravely.

I hope it is a mucus plug that will pass...or that Emily can get a ride and find help...

OMG...even if Emily knew how to use a catheter, what would be small enough that she would have at home?

And she is offline now...PT Prayers are all that is left.

I'm so sorry to hear this. You can at least call the ER and ask them what you can do. They'll usually tell you what to do over the phone. I hope you'll be able to find a way to express her bladder. Poor little girl.

Here's a website that shows you how to express a dog or cats bladder:expressing a bladder. I'm sure it will be similar in a kitten. Good luck.
