Praying you're able to be at the vet with your cat as soon as possible. Please let us know how it goes. This must be so stressful for you.
Is it ok if they sedate him again today?Diazepam is along the same lines as prazosin. Should produce similar results, including side effects like drowsiness and so forth.
Yes, it's likely all right.They will likely need to sedate him to treat him.Is it ok if they sedate him again today?
I thought of asking the vet to give him light sedation.The drops you are giving him are likely not very long term, and I suspect the anesthesia he received before is out of his system. But, if you don't want to have him get more anesthesia, what would you do otherwise?
The hospital opens in an hour. I am taking him to the hospital right now.
Ok, that's at least good to hear that his regular vet is attending to him and did a surgery on his bladder something is finally done rather than leaving the matter hanging.Meanwhile, another vet who regularly sees my cats came and checked him.
I am so glad you got to the vet in time!! The vet who did the operation sounds wonderful!! I'm so happy that he took the severity of the situation seriously.The vet took an x-ray and removed some urine from the urinary bladder directly with a syringe. He placed a catheter and tried to flush saline into it. There was obstruction. That fellow told me to check if there are any drops coming out and asked me to come tomorrow. I said i won't go until he pees on his own.
Meanwhile, another vet who regularly sees my cats came and checked him. He tried to catheter him but the tube is not going inside. He immediately took the cat to the operation theatre and performed bladder surgery to him. He said the urinary bladder has expanded and there was so much blood in the urine. He also said the bladder became black. He had blood loss and there was some damage to the bladder. The vet said he is at risk for 2-3 days and it takes some time for the bladder to get healed. Placed a catheter and told me to not remove for 3 days. And wear a diaper to him so that he can't remove it. He told me to bring him for another 3 days continuously for iv fluids.
