At around 6pm, I noticed that Alani started jumping in and out of the litter boxes again and he was making very tiny pee biscuits again.My vet only worked until 5pm today so I called the vet hospital and I spoke to a vet tech about what's been going on with Alani. She told me that I should bring him in just to be on the safe side. He'd be an urgent care case.
I got there at around 7:30pm or so and they brought us back to a room immediately to check his bladder. His bladder was empty again and then I was told that there were two emergency cases ahead of me so it could take a while to be seen. Luckily we were able to wait in the room so Alani could relax without having any dogs around.
We were seen at about 8:45pm or so and the vet said that he should have more sub-q fluids. I also learned that his condition could take 5-7 days to improve. She also said that I could give him the Buprenex up to 3-4 times a day. I'll be going back to work so that won't be happening. I got out of there around 9pm and he was a bit restless on the way home. His pee pad was a little wet but I think it was from some of his sub-q fluids. The vet tech was able to give them to him while he sat in the carrier.
Storm smelled him and he started hissing and one of my other cats had thrown up a big hairball on the kitchen floor. I then gave Alani his pain medicine and then I fed everyone. Later on Alani was lying on his back in the hall way and he was very relaxed. The vet did say that by giving him more sub-q fluids that he'd get better faster. I wish that my vet had told me this so then I could've bought a bag of fluids and then given them to him as needed. I sure hope that he'll start improving now. Thanks again for all of the prayers.
