          Waiting for the doctor.  Most likely crystals in his urine and a blockage.  Joy.

           

          We went to dinner and back, not waited here until now.

                Damaris, didn't you go through this before with Hershey?

                Yes and no.  He had two bouts of cystitis but it is common for males to have UTIs, cystitis, then blockage. It is apparently a question of time.

                 

                He is now six years old so I guess he was about time. If it continues to happen the are talking about surgery. Transgender surgery.  Apparently, it is a male issue.

                    Damaris - That happened to one of our male cats about 6 yrs ago when youngest was a baby. He had the surgery, recovered, was fine for a while, and the got reblocked. When the vet said the next step was a urostomy bag or put down, we opted to put him down. We loved him, and he was an old kitty, and we weren't going to mess with a kitty pee bag with a baby and a young preschooler in the house!

                     

                    Really hope Hershey isn't blocked.  Although sometimes they can put in a Foley catheter for 24 hours or so and the block will resolve without surgery. It's like angioplasty for kitty plumbing.

                     

                    In other news, school pictures this morning. I'm afraid exorcist mommy had to make an appearance before youngest was picture presentable. Acupuncture in a bit.

                      We had to do that with a male cat about 10 years ago.  He blocked once, we paid buchoo bucks to get him healthy, and he blocked again.  And we had to put him down.  It was hard, because it was my daughter's cat, and had to put him down the day before first spinal surgery.  It was like a double whammy for us.

                          They are putting the catheter to empty it, as it is not that bad. Now you guys are scaring me.

                                Didn't mean to scare you, D!  Glad that Hershey's block isn't that bad. Tubby's was really bad. He couldn't pee at ALL!
