They managed to force the blockage back into his bladder by cathered him. Tigs is also on antibiotic and a special diet.
Hopefully the stone will now disolve but if it doesn't he might get blocked up again in the next few days, so we'll keep a careful eye on him.
Tigs will be coming home tomorrow, if everything is going well
-----------------------------------
I'm a bit confused about WHY Tigs got sick.
The Nice Man Vet said :-
:We were lucky to spot his problem so early most owners miss it until things get serious
:He asked about water & food. He said water fountains were great way of encouraging a cat to drink and we had the cats on a low mineral bland ID diet. He was very happy about our cats diet.
:He said that we were unlucky to have two cats prone to building up crystals and that in cases like ours where the cats have an excellent home life, it is unclear why such a young cat would get this. (George had a mild attack 2 years ago)
The Nasty Lady Vet said :-
(who said why bother treating Bramble for her poo problems as it would be cheaper to get another kitten !!!!)
: She supposed we didn't leave it too late as the blood tests were clear (No, Your vet partner said we were good to spot it so early)
:Tigs is fat (No, well within his range according to vet partner)
:Tigs is inactive (Wow that lady is wrong, as Tigs flys around the living room using walls and the cat tree as his own personal death wheel track EVERYDAY.)
:Tigs is highly stressed and upset (Doh, He is at the vets where people have been poking him with needle, I would be stressed too. But at home he is laid back and friends with all the other cats.)
:Tigs is not allowed access to enough water (two water fountains and a massive water bowl in the kitchen more than enough to drink)
:Tigs is being fed a poor diet (No Tigs is fed the highest quality diet which your vet partner, Nice Vet Man recommend)
In conclusion she wants to make sure he is actually watchd carefully so they are keeping him in....WTF. We are so good at knowing our cats, that we got Tigs to the emergency room before his physical signs even looked worrying. The emergency vet kept him in based on my gut feeling and description of squating NOT because of physical symptoms. Tigs only showed signs of illness over night as he became iller. I would say we keep pretty close eye on our cat !!!!
I really dislike this lady. She makes sneer comments about the number of cats we have and that we waste money on strays.
Well, it is our money to waste dear.
If it wasn't for the three nice men vets, we would never go there again.
So we are either really good owners acording to the three men vets or rubbish according to the nasty lady vets
