I'm glad he's home.

Jim was on Torbutol to reduce the sensation of pain in the bladder AND reduce inflamation to allow the urine to flow better.

Ask about it, if you think he is still uncomfortable.

Oh, good news, Penny! I'm glad that Gatsby is doing better.

Yay Gatsby! You know that old song - Cry Me A River??? - glad you were able to sing your own version - Pee Me A River.

Penny - so glad to hear that he's doing better!

LOL! It's a strange state of affairs when you want the litter box to require scooping.

And Jen, I'll make a note about Torbutol. Gats seems OK for now, but if he shows any sign of discomfort I'll ask the vet about it. Thanks for the info!

There are quite a few meds for cats that get chronic blockages. The good news is that they really seem to work! I no longer follow Ming around the house waiting and watching to see if he pees. That alone is worth the price of the meds!

I'm sending Gatsby good thoughts.
