Logan is very sick - urinary blockage

[zippy-kat]

{{Thinking of you guys!}}

Poor Logan! I hope the vet can figure out what is wrong. That sounds really serious, I just hope it's not. Poor little guy!

Thoughts and prayers on the way for your little shy guy.

Yup, poor Logan's a Sick Kitty!

Initial diagnosis is a Urinary Blockage (very full Bladder, and unable to urinate
with pressure applied) means RED Alert with surgery required.

Arrangements are made at MSU (Michigan State University / Veterinary Teaching Hospital
/ Emergency & Critical Care Medicine) and Kimmy + Logan are driving
over there now.

No doubt they'll try a catheter insertion first;
but the possibility of Major Surgery is present.

Kimmy will call in a Progress Report as the situation develops at MSU.

Kimmy Kids have had Great Success with MSU's Vet Staff - They pulled
Kia AND Chipper out of death's grasp when things seemed pretty bleak ---
Send a few Purrayers for Logan that They Do It Again!

Hang IN There, Logan!!

{{{HUGS}}} to Kimmy!!

Just seeing this thread. Prayers for Logan from all of us here. Hugs Kimmy. Prayers that the white coats can help Logan quickly!

Poor Logan! I hope that he can be sorted out. That blockage is scary.

Is this going to be very expensive? I am so broke this holiday as I don't have a job, but if there is anyway I could help.. I could donate maybe something small??

[JenBKR]

Oh my -thanks for the update Phred! Prayers for Logan coming and ((((hugs)))) for you Kimmy!

[Barbara]

Oh no- poor poor Logan! Hope all goes well- he seems to be in good hands.

THANKS, PHRED! They got him just in time. Poor Logan!

I know they can get him fixed up - is it a Univ teaching hosp?

I hope the rates are ok, and that I can help, even a little bit!

PT Prayers for Logan!

Poor Logan I'm so sorry you guys are having to go through this. It sounds very scary AND expensive and I'm praying that Logan will get unblocked with the catheter.

Lots of prayers are coming at 'ya from TX. I hope Logan's OK.

Candace, MSU - Michigan State University - has a fabulous Vet School! Our Grady spent a couple of days there a few years back with a badly broken leg. They called with updates more than any 'hooman' hospital would have. We are so lucky to have this place close by.

Logan is in the best possible place for treatment.

3:40 pm at MSU ...

Yup, He's *blocked* and full ...

He's now "in the back" for the un-plugging procedure.
He'll be sedated and a catheter inserted to hopefully break up the blockage and
allow the backed up urine to flow out.
The Doc will come back to talk to Kimmy after the initial procedure.

At this point it could be either a mucus plug or either of two types of "crystals"
that are stopping up the plumbing.

Stand by for the next update.
... And PRAY!
