He's having the surgery after just one blockage? Most cats never block again. Well, your vet must know best as he has seen Alani. I am wishing Alani the speediest of recoveries and a long, happy, life.

If you read the thread in cat health then you would know that he did a lot of damage to the tip of his penis. It most likely has scar tissue or will heal up with scar tissue which will only cause more blockages in the future. This is why he had the PU surgery after only one blockage. My RB cat Storm had two blockages before he had the PU surgery. He was put on a prescription urinary diet and about 2 months later he blocked a second time. This time he also had scar tissue so they couldn't even catheterize him so he needed surgery asap. So yes cats do block more than once. If you look up old Fister threads or even threads about Phreds cat, you can read that they also blocked more than once and eventually needed PU surgery.Originally Posted by katladyd

Thanks for the speedy recovery wishes.

Oh, I know they can block more than once, Ming blocked several times. My vet just told me that many cats only block once and never block again. I thought it might been something severe that made them give Alani the PU surgery after only one blockage. A scarred penis is a very good reason. I am so glad you caught this when you did and that Alani will be fine. I am sending Alani, you, and all your precious kitties good wishes.

Thanks for asking. He's doing great. He loves his new urinary diet. Hopefully he'll continue to do well.
