Thanks for the updates Phred. I've been worried about Kimmy and Logan so I thought I would check in here to see what's going on. I hope everything goes well with the catheter and they can figure out what caused the blockage and fix it! More healing vibes and prayers on the way for Logan and of course **hugs** for Kimmy!

Thanks for the updates Phred. After having a scare earlier this week with Decker peeing blood I can kind of relate to this. I sure hope they are able to unblock him and it's the best scenario for poor little Logan.

Prayers still on the way, poor kittyboy!

Poor Logan. He sounds so sick. I hope the Drs can fix him up soon.
Prayers for the little guy.

Hey guys! Thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers! Keep em coming!

They were able to successfully get a catheter in and remove the blockage and drain his bladder. She said she didn't see much mucus so it's potentially crystals we're dealing with.

They will be x-raying him tonight to look for bladder stones. His kidney and potassium levels are very high so he's still there on fluids and antibiotics while being monitored.

If all goes well, Logan can come home Sunday or Monday.

They said he might develop a blockage again someday, but that we can cross that bridge when we get there. Since Logan is a relatively healthy cat with no prior illnesses, they feel it might be an isolated incident. They did mention the surgery to rework his plumbing, but felt it wasn't needed right at this moment in time.

I got to see him before I left. Poor guy is so out of it. His cage has a sign that says 'Semi Feral'. Hope he minds his manners when the sedatives wear off!

I'm so sorry that Logan is sick, but it is great that you were able to get the problem diagnosed and treated so quickly. Let's hope he recovers quickly, too.

Poor little boy--we'll keep him in our thoughts!

If it's crystals, it can be remedied with a food change, but they have to know what kind of crystals to find out what's the right kind of food. Smudge had struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) crystals, and was put on c/d, which he thinks is delicious, and hasn't had any urinary trouble since.

There's a joint supplement called Cosequin which also strengthens the inside of the urinary tract, to keep irritations from escalating into blockages.

Love, Columbine

OMG!

So, what'd he do to earn the "Semi Feral" designation?
