Constipated kitty? **UPDATE**

[krazyaboutkatz]

I sure hope that it's nothing serious and that he'll be okay. My Storm had the PU surgery because he became blocked 2 times. Yesterday morning I caught him peeing very small amounts of urine and he kept jumping in and out of the litterboxes. He was also acting normal so if I hadn't seen this I would have never known that anything was wrong with him. He also didn't seem to be in any pain.

I called my vet's office and they told me to bring him in right away and that even though he had the PU surgery, he could still be blocked due to scar tissue. Luckily he wasn't blocked but he most likely has a UTI and I'm still waiting to hear the results of his urinalysis and bloodwork. He's taking medicam for 3 days and bayrtil for 10 days. Please get your cat to the vet asap.

Yes, my dog will be going to the vet to get her annual shots sometime next month.

Stewie made it through the drive to the vet this morning and is doing fine. He was in & out of the litterbox a lot less last night, and he's been peeing a little bit here & there. The vet wanted to get some urine to send to the lab for tests, but apparently Stewie wouldn't cooperate with that. So, we got some Albon tablets to give him every 24 hours, and the vet said if he doesn't seem to get better in a few days to bring him back in. So far today he's been fine, not in & out of the box hardly at all. I hope this means he's in the clear...or at least getting there. We'll definitely keep an eye on him these next few days!

We are sending prayers for Our Friend Stewie that he will be all right and will be using his Litter Box as always very soon.
Thats not a good feeling to be blocked up.

Thanks for all the prayers! Stewie's been taking his pills like a champ, but we're still not 100% sure he's ok. Today we came downstairs to find him semi-squatting right in front of the litterbox. He wasn't peeing, but looked like he was trying. And then later he went in the box & didn't do anything. He still isn't making any noises like he's in pain...but we're still keeping a close eye on him. If after a couple more days of the Albon and he's still acting odd, back to the vet he'll go.

If he's not peeing and he's trying, whether or not he's making noises, something isn't right. Call your vet!

He's probably blocked. So I sure hope that you've taken him back to the vet or an emergency vet asap. Cats can die from this and it only takes about 24 hours or so if I remember correctly. Please update us when you can. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.
