I had quite the scare last night, and I am not sure the saga is quite over yet.
Last night, just before 10 pm saw Jim leave the litter box and he laid down strangely. He laid flat on his side and seemed to be straining to poop (or pee). For 10 minutes he did this so I called my vet.
Without the details as to WHY....taking him to the vet last night would have been quite difficult. So she suggested some medicne (I had on hand) and some sub Q fluids which, THANK GOD I also had on hand! This was to 1) relax the urethra and 2) to flush out a possible blockage.
Did it. placed him in a seperate room and went to bed. Got up at 2 am to check on him and give him another 1/4 of the pill. He peed a lake! It ust have came on fast because only half was in the box (OK by mke, as long as he feels better). Went back to bed.
T|At 6 am this morning he still seems a bit painful (but at least I know his bladder is not full). I'll give more fluids and another pill and then call the vet for the next step.
So think of Jim today, thanks.
