    I's so glad to hear he is improving, and I pray he eats and gets the all clear to come home soon!

    Maybe he will eat better when he's at home again.

    Hugs to precious Logan, and bless the vets for looking after him so well.

    I'm glad to hear that Logan's doing well and hopefully he'll start eating soon.

    You're very lucky that he's being nice to the vet and staff. I used to have a cat named Cirrus who also became blocked and had the PU surgery. He was also semi-feral but I couldn't even pick him up. I warned everyone at my vet's office but my vet learned the hard way.

    My vet went by his office to give Cirrus his meds on his day off but Cirrus was able to get his e-collar off and he bit my vet in the crotch area. He then jumped off of the table and ran around the vets office. When I went to pick him up the next day they were so happy to get rid of him and everyone was terrified of him. He also wouldn't eat much and he'd hiss and growl like a wild cat at them. No one could even believe that I had him as a pet in my home.

    Cirrus was also very young when he became blocked and he had struvite crystals. My vet thought that it may have been caused by stress. Storm and Cirrus didn't get along so Cirrus was always under a lot of stress. It's interesting that both Storm and Cirrus were the cats that had urinary tract blockage.

    I also forgot to mention that Storm's surgeon said that his urethra opening was very small so it was only a matter of time before he became blocked. Hopefully Logan will never have to experience this kind of thing again.

    They actually trimmed his nails when he was sedated on Friday. At home, I have to calmly approach him, then I scruff him and Andy snips the nails.
