My 6yo male cat was just sent home from the vet around 10 hours ago. He was in and out of the vets last week due to not urinating, where his bladder was manually emptied and no obstructions or blockages found. upon blood testing they found that his kidney results were super high. We weren't sure if he would make it. The vet has told us this is due to the build up of urine from not peeing. He has since spent 48 hours in emergency vet on an IV, and after 24 hours was able to urinate on his own again normally. Today, his kidney results were luckily all back to normal so he's been sent home with Royal Canin Urinary S/O wet food and 3 medications - pain killer, muscle relaxer and antibiotic.
Since returning home 10 hours ago, he hasn't eaten or drunk (but ate and had IV fluids this morning at vets) but he's only managed 2 urinations this afternoon and tonight (photos attached). Over the last hour, he has been going in and out of his litter boxes 3-4 times but nothing is coming out. He is currently hiding under the bed but seems very sleepy which I guess is normal considering the amount of time he was in the vets. We are monitoring him but I am looking for advice, should he be eating and drinking again already? Is he peeing a sufficient amount or should I take him back to the vets tomorrow? The vet seemed very optimistic.
Any advice gratefully received! Thanks in advance.
