Oscar

[Catty1]

Oscar is home and scraping at the bathroom door.

He has a new litterbox which he used twice within 10 minutes of getting home. I set everything up for him in the bathroom. Urine looks normal.

I called the vet and asked how many normal pees he has to have before being set free and I was told "a couple of days".

I can hear him scratching at the door now. I'll go spend some more time with him.

Just HOW I am going to keep him quietly separate is another matter.

I suppose I could let him out and close the doors to both rooms with litterboxes.

And the new Catit fountain is not working at all. Will try running an extension cord to a regular outlet instead of the GFI it's in now.

I really really hope he does not block again.

6 medications to give him also. One I am to start tonight. Because he was sedated for the block to be removed he was not blinking and has very very slight ulceration on his corneas. Eye drops hopefully 3 times a day. THAT will be fun!

Welcome HOME, Oscar!

Best wishes and lots of warm healing energies to you, and your dear Meowmie Candace, with your recovery routine! We hope you will be back in good form very soon.

I'm glad to hear that Oscar is back home. Six different medicines? What a pain, but I'm sure Oscar is going to be a good sport.
I hope that the diet is working out for him, definitely cheaper and less invasive than the surgeries.
And hopefully, you get the fountain to work.
Best wishes and lots of purrs to you and Oscar from Heidi and the kitties.

I did get the fountain working - extension cord and a "normal" power outlet.

Oscar likes the dry urinary food but Zoe keeps moving in on him to eat it! Once I get to the regular feeding time in the morning I think it'll be fine.

Keeping both doors closed where the litter boxes are concerned. I'll likely hear a kitty scratching at one of the doors to get in and I'll get up and let them in. It's usually first thing in the morning so shouldn't be too bad.

Thanks everybody.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry Oscar is going thru this. Diego had a big bladder stone removed several years ago and has been on urinary food since. Give him a hug for me. 😢

Will Oscar eat the cannned version of the urinary diet? That would help him to get more water.

I know and no, Oscar will not eat the wet food. He did crunch some of the dry food this morning. However, he was actually drinking water from the fountain and the water bowl. I haven't every caught him doing that.

I'll be at my regular vet today and ask about a different brand of dissolution food.

I'm doing ok with his meds but cannot find the eyedrops anywhere.

Oscar, did you hide your eyedrops?
