Just had to leave my cat at the vets

[NewYearCalavicci]

My poor cat has been a bit off colour for a few days , last night seemed to be having problems peeing so I made a appointment and took him to the vets.
The poor mite has a very full bladder the vet tried to massage his bladder and relive it but it didn't work so he has to be anesthetized and a catheter fitted .

They also need to run some blood test take sure his liver and kidneys are ok .

worried

Oh this update has made me so happy. May he long continue shouting at bags and 3am wake up calls 🤣

@Extratoebeans please can I have a night off his 3am calls I am on my way home from work now and it's 12.20 .

Ha ha ha , nah I am so happy he is back to his shouty self

One more pic of my overlord

Lovely, long may he continue shouting at paper bags!

So happy things are looking better. My friend had similar with her cat and unfortunately wasn't a good outcome. She is convinced it was flea treatment that started it (Bob Martin).

To people with 2 or more cats sharing a litter tray, how can you tell who pees when?

Hi @Ibizafun
Sorry to hear about your friends cat , I don't know what started the issue with my cat . There wasn't any triggers as far as I can tell.

As for knowing which cat pees when, it would be harder to tell by looking in the tray but it's not that obvious anyway until there is a real problem as they just keep on going so eventually over a day probably wee about the same amount.
But watching them is a much clearer give away.
The one having issues will use the tray , then go back within a short time ( sometimes just a minute later ) and try to wee again , also you can tell by the body language that they are struggling mine use to stretch his neck and tail out but I have heard of others twisting / hunching up.

NewYearCalavicci thank you that is so very helpful.. now I know what to look for.
