Pouncer's not eating

**Catty1** · 03-11-2007, 11:01 AM

Poor baby - can he pee at ALL? But you know him best...and hopefully tomorrow to the vet is ok!

He needs comfort and cuddling...poor baby...

Is there such a thing as a cat having a permanent larger urethra put in(artificial, like a stent for humans?). The other surgery helps many cats...and Pouncer and you and your hubby have gone through enough!

HUGS!

Poor Pouncer! I'm so sorry to hear he's not feeling well.

Some cats are very sensitive to noise and things going on around them. Try to keep him a quiet place and give him lots of cuddles. Perhaps you can encourage him to drink more if you put several glasses of water in different places for him. Hopefully, the vet can find out what's the matter and do something. Good luck, and gentle kisses to Pouncer.

If he gave up on the litterboxes and tried to pee on the drop cloth, chances are he has a urinary tract infection. That's what happens when Puddy gets one. Although last time she plopped herself down the way Pouncer did and it turned out that she had dried feces blocked in her colon and Dr. Lee had to clean her out. Don't put off taking her to the vet; it's very painful if that's what's wrong w/Pouncer. You might consider the emergency vet and not wait. I hope I'm wrong.

Blessings,
Mary

Poor Pouncer and poor Mommy!

I'm sorry he seems much worse this time, Kim. I hope the vet can find out exactly what is going on and get him all straightened out.

Oh no, poor Pouncer. Sounds like he is one sick kitty.

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way.

I tend to agree here. Many times when a cat is 'straining' to go, it's easy to mistake trying to poo for trying to pee. If it was my kitty I'd date him to the ER vet, if nothing else just to reassure myself.

If nothing else try just giving the ER vet a call and see what they say.

Good luck and I hope poor Pouncer feels better very soon.

Poor Pouncer. If only they could tell us what's wrong and where it hurts. Prayers that the whitecoats will find some answers and the problem can be easily and painlessly resolved. We're on your side, sweet Pouncer! Please eat something for Meowmie? That might help you feel a bit better and stronger. Please let us know what your vet has to say?

Sounds like a major case of UTI to me. In case he'd be blocked it would be life threatening. Together with some of the others I would recommend the ER- although I know it's expensive.

All the best for poor Pouncer.
