Need Advice Quickly - Zeus Has A Urinary Blockage, please send prayers Options

[Zita'sMom]

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

Hello all.

Thanks for the support, and at the moment things are looking good for Zeus. I was able to bring him home yesterday afternoon. Though he is still somewhat uncomfortable, he is using the litter box (quite frequently, I guess because of the irritation) but he is not blocked at the moment. He is good about taking his pills, but his throat is sore from the tube during surgery so he's coughing a bit. He was bright and chipper this morning, doing the usual jumping on my head for his morning meal. So I feel better. He was very glad to be home, purring lots and lots. You would not know he had been through life threatening surgery.

However, he says that the canned vet food tastes like shoe leather! I've been mixing in some of the dry food they gave with water and he eats that.

Thanks for all your prayers and support. Please continue sending your positive energy for his maximum healing.

Thanks for being there for me also.
