I phoned the vet this morning who said him swallowing it is fine! It's just different information from online, hmm. Overall, he's doing really well. Still licking a little and spending a while in his litter tray, but 4 pees in the last 15 hours and one poo isn't anything to complain about :)...

Good morning, last night Oscar ate a pouch of Royal Canin mixed with a small bowl of water and did 2 good sized pees! Let's hope this continues :) Could somebody with Buprex tell me, when giving it orally should it be swallowed or, as I've now read, squirted into the cheek? To be absorbed into...

Hi everyone, At our vet appointment, the vet told us Oscar had managed to pee twice on his own. He still has a urine infection and inflammation but this will be lessening. He was happy to send him home last night. HOWEVER, I wanted to ensure he is as comfortable and confident peeing with as...

Thank you. We have an appointment with the vet today and he will give us an update on his progress and what the next steps are. Thanks for sharing your experience! :)

Hi guys, Oscar is back in the vets now having a 24-48 hour stay back on the IV fluids. :sniffle: The vet is monitoring him every 2 hours to check if he has peed on his own. When we took him in, his bladder was completely full but his urine shows no kidney problems this time, thank goodness. He...

Let's hope Oscar can't get some answers tomorrow if there's no luck with him peeing tonight! It's so lovely to have him back at home, such a shame he may have to be hospitalised again :sniffle:

I know, it's so disappointing :( He doesn't seem at all distressed, he's been in the litter tray a few times but it's almost like he's forgotten how to use it and is relaxing in it for a minute or so then getting back out. I'm separating the cats tonight so I can monitor his litter tray all...

Sadly, Oscar hasn't done another pee today... if this continues during the night, the vet has told me to bring him straight in in the morning. They will check his bladder and possibly put him back into emergency care with a catheter and drip. Does anybody know why this is happening again? Or is...

In the middle of the night, and this morning, he has eaten some of his wet food and had a little water. I am going to speak to his vet and update them this morning. I think he may have done another pee but not entirely sure if it was him or my other cat, so this is something I'll monitor today...

Thanks for this reply, lots of great info. I will head to the shop and buy some bits that he might enjoy, thanks!

The only thing I have to hand is tuna, Which he loves, is this safe to offer him? Haha your cat sounds exactly like my other cat, I'm trying to HIDE the royal Canin as he eats everything in sight! They drive us mad but we love them, don't we?

Thanks for your reply! He does still seem a bit 'out of it' and just wants to sleep and cuddle. I will keep persevering by offering his food and water, and hopefully tomorrow he will have his appetite back. I will be checking in with the vet first thing in the morning to update him and if needed...

Thank you so much for your quick reply, it's much appreciated. The vets were delighted with the change in his resukts(as was I of course!). I will take your advice and leave a message. The vet did say his antibiotics will help the inflammation. He has used his litter box twice today since...

For reference, the first time his blood was taken and he was hospitalised on Saturday his levels were: BUN 102.8, CRE 5.2, GLU 238. Extremely elevated. Today, his results were: BUN 16.6, CRE 0.9, GLU 137. A massive improvement!

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...
