Logan is very sick - urinary blockage

[ramanth]

Just got off the phone with MSU. He is awake, walking around, talking! , and seems to be recovering well.

His X-rays came back showing NO stones. YAY!!!

They will run a urine culture everyday to check for infection. With luck, he'll be home soon.

Whew!! What wonderful news! I know how relieved you are. We all are.

No stones, great news! And he's up and around, too. Wonderful!

YAAAY! Didn't they let him talk into the receiver? Moms need to hear their babies!

What great news!

If he needs a new type of food, Royal Canin seems to be a brand most cats like the flavour of.

It is a bit more money - but when I think about the month I spent with Oscar with his bladder infection (very few crystals), I think about the money I am saving with the good food. I measure it, too; that helps!

I hope he can come home soon, and we can see happy Logan pics!

Yea for Logan! That is so wonderful they were able to remove the blockage and get sweet Logan feeling better Hopefully he will be happy and at home in no time. I would definitely talk to you vet about specialty food. My Baby had a similar problem, and once we put him on special food, he didn't have any urinary tract problems at all. Good luck to you guys!

Oh my gosh, I just read all four pages and I couldn't wait to get to the end with the good update! I'm so glad he got the help he needed, that situation can turn deadly in hours. I'm sure he's feeling a million times better now that he doesn't have a full bladder even though he's just been through surgery.
Prayers that he will be home with you soon.

What good news! If his problems involve crystals in his urine, then I suspect a dietary change will be recommended. We've had two of our cats over the years with urinary/kidney issues, and both times a special kidney diet food was recommended, and did help. My parents also have a neutered male kitty who has had urinary/kidney problems, and after they put him on the special diet, he hasn't had a problem.

Hopefully, with monitoring and preventative care, this won't happen again.

I'm glad to hear Logan is feeling better- and that his X-ray shows no stones!
Tigris had an attack of that iFLUTD (I remember the i meaning idiopathic because there is no known reason to it) 3 years ago during the Christmas days. It came back one time after 2 months and then never again. Hope it is the same with Logan kitty
Of course you'll watch Logan just as we watch Tigris now- but there is a good chance he'll stay healthy.

What a great update on Logan - and hopefully he'll be home soon. Sure sounds like he's ready!

Gosh, what a scare, but I'm glad to hear Logan is recovering now. You know, Fister was blocked with struvite crystals about three times. Even though he was on a strict Hills S/D diet, he still blocked up 2-3 months later, so he finally had the big operation. I hope Logan won't block up again.

Get better Logan, your mom and dad are waiting anxiously for you come home.
