Hey, he is doing really well thank you!
Oh i'm sorry to hear, i picked it as it was an unusual name i heard on a TV show when i got him.
I can't believe he's doing so well, i expected him to come home from surgery really unwell, wearing a cone collar etc. When i got to the vets & put my fingers...
they did do urine cultures as far as i'm aware.
He had surgery yesterday which went well, they removed nearly 30 crystals from his bladder, shaped like starfish, & a few had lodged in his urethra, not fully blocking it, but partially.
As long as he is recovering well tosay he can come home...
Hey, so yesterday i ended up being told they believe the stones are the sort that cannot be solved with food. So he would require surgery. Thats £700. They concern is he also has kidney disease. They don't know how quickly this would develop after the surgery, he could deteriorate or live some...
Yes, now i know what the issue is & i'm prepared for what is required, i feel less stressed about medicating him, even if he really hates me for it for a while.
My vet is ringing me today (it was a different vet updating me yesterday) to confirm everything & Malachi should be coming home today
I completely agree Draco, if anyone has any questions for me or would like any information, the vet's contact details for the surgery, etc, i am happy to answer any questions
I have an update now i have spoken to the vet following Malachi's tests.
The results show he has a lot of bladder stones which explain his discomfort, why he hasn't seemed to like walking on his hind legs the passed few days & keeps straining to wee & pooping himself. Although he is not blocked...
Thank you!

Hi all, i hope you are well.
I was advised i could post this here, i hope that's ok.
I don't like to ask for help but i've set this up as my cat is ill.
He is due to have tests tomorrow which will cost £600, i've already spend around £350 to help him over the passed few weeks.
Tomorrow he will...
Yeah, he's 10 in August. Although he's had FLUTD since he was 2 it's under control bar some minor cystitis flare up. I've always been aware as he gets older things are more likely, but it's come as a shock as i wasn't expecting anything like this for a good few years yet
Oh i didn't know that...
Thank you. It's very upsetting, but i'm fighting for him
If he can get better i will see if i can get injectables instead
I find out the results tomorrow, he is on a drip today, but will have tests tomorrow.
I've never really believes in sites like Just Giving but i've set a page up & shared on...
