Please help, what's wrong with my cat?

[sasvermont]

I am so happy to hear you have had such a good outcome with your sick kitty. That was a close call. Cats can be so stoic. Male cats can be very tricky when it comes to blockages.

Again, I am very happy you took him to the vet when you did.

Good luck with his recovery and by all means, keep us posted as his recovery.

Oh, that's so great. I am so happy to hear how well he is doing and that your family got him to the vet in time.

Please keep us posted and tell us more about Sammy!

Bless you, little Sammy, and your hero Tiwi! I'm so glad he's all right! Even if all of your cats share food, getting him onto a healthier food will prevent this from happening again in the future. And cats don't usually object to grain-free food - overall, most of them seem to like it better. My Smudge is a fish fanatic, but he adores Indigo Moon, which is a chicken-based dry food. (Of course, his favorites are still homemade roast chicken and turkey and deli ham - and I admit, I do occasionally share!)

Love, Columbine

YAAY! He sounds like a real sweetie! Best news of all!

[Medusa]

Oh thank goodness! It sounds like we have a Christmas miracle! I'm so glad that your vet was able to do what was necessary in time. He's going to need lots of TLC but I'm sure you and your mom have that in plenty of supply. We'd love to see pix when you have the time. Great news!

I'm glad to hear that your cat is now doing great. I hope he'll recover from surgery quickly.

So apparently the operation was just sticking the catheter in plus pushing the crystals/stones back into his bladder. To take them out would be a whole nother surgery... : (
the doc said he could get blocked in a day or if were lucky, a few months. We are hoping it doesn't happen until atleast feb when my parents will get their tax money. So that's that. My mom is really upset about it.

Other than that I think he comes home tonight, I'll be sure to take pics.
