My 1 year old kitty had a double knee surgery on Tuesday. He had no food Monday night but had access to his water dish. The evening of the surgery the vet said he peed once overnight. I brought him home Wednesday and he urinated as soon as I got him home and that night in his bed again. Since the last urination he has not drank any water but did eat about 1/2 can of wet food/tuna which has a lot of water in it. The vet was made aware this morning of his lack of appetite so he is going to start a appetite stimulate tonight. My question is, since it has been over 24 hours since he last eliminated, should I be concerned? I’ve tried setting him in his litter box and manually expressing his bladder with no luck. I know he hasn’t been drinking a lot of water but I still feel like he should have peed again by now! Should I start giving him water witha syringe Incase he is severely dehydrated?
