My thread is at Goodbye Rosie Goodbye Family, but I really need all your prayers.
My last 5 year old cat Zeus cat threw up late last night and wasn't purring so I knew he wasn't feeling well. He didn't eat this morning so I phoned the vet. He was acting totally normal until late last night. He has a urinary blockage and is undergoing surgery. He is 5 years old. I've had a lot of losses, and I really need him to pull through this. The vet said that he may have kidney damage. He appeared really healthy until this. Unfortunately it's a long weekend and they need me to decide whether to bring him home, to leave him at a different vet's office, one I've never been to, or take him to another city for 24 hour hospitalization. The local vet's office does not have 24 hour surveillance, and I'm tempted to bring him home. But on the other hand, I'm not sure about what complications there could be - does anyone have advice on this? Need some advice quickly... thanks Jan. |

Hi Jan, sorry for ringing in so late here.
I had two males that regularly got blockages, my heart would stop when they would come out the litter box without voiding for the first time. You made the right decsion in keeping Zeus close to home. What a great name for a kat. I'm sending all my postive karma your way. Take Care -------------------- |

What a great name for a kat. I'm sending all my postive karma your way. Take Care Thanks Bue's Mommy Were you able to prevent future blockages? I am so concerned that I won't see symptoms, like this last time. I will keep Zeus inside only until he is fully recovered so I can check the litter box. He will be on preventative food for the rest of his life. I just hope that I am able to stop this from ever happening again, and really need to know what to look for in future... He will have the catheter out tomorrow morning, then spend some time at the vet until early afternoon, so they can monitor if he is peeing on his own. Thanks for sending all that positive energy and I'm hoping his healing will be rapid and complete! Jan |
