Hello all, After three seperate blockages in just over a week following a bladder infection the week before, my vet recommended that my male cat, Fluffy, receive an urgent PU surgery. On Tuesday evening I brought him to the emergency animal hospital and he received his surgery yesterday and it...

My boy Artemis is officially 2 weeks post-OP on Monday but he still pees very tiny small amounts and gets very upset that he can't lick right after, will just keep trying to through his cone for several minutes. Is this normal? :( I know I was warned to expect this in the beginning but...

My Romeo had PU surgery last June after repeatedly getting crystals in his urine. The surgery seems to be successful but I'm having problems feeding him and my other 10 cats. My vet said that because he had crystals, he can never eat anything but prescription food again. I started using Hills...

...and help you to know what to look for that would suggest things to be concerned about. Aside from that, until other members who have direct experience with post PU surgery care, maybe you would like to take a look at previous related posts? Search Results for Query: post PU surgery |...

My 4-year-old cat Max was our perfect boy. We called him our love bug. He greeted us everyday when we got home from work, he hardly left my fiance’s side, and he used to sleep with us every night. All until he had his first urinary blockage a year ago. We spent pretty much all of August 2022 in...

It's alright, any help is appreciated. I have done some binging on these threads before I went through with his surgery just to get a feel of what I was going into, but it's been a lot more than I imagined. I found the information given by @Stargirl0623 very helpful, but unfortunately it doesn't...

I'm sorry I don't have any information that can help. I'm hoping that some of the information in these articles will help. Also I did a generic search for PU surgeries. That search has a bunch of articles you can look through. Please keep us posted...

Hi. A PU surgery is a big deal. It is expensive and a difficult surgery to do. Part of what you pay for in the surgery is also the aftercare. Please keep in constant contact with your vet. I promise you, you are not bothering them. If your cat hasn’t had a bowel movement, you need to let the vet...

Yes, I completely agree with you. The panic of the circumstances, the stress of the emergency visits, and my greatly impacted judgement lead me to make the wrong decision. I take that fault completely, and can only promise my boy that I'll do better for him in the future. I've definitely learned...

My cat is now at about 5 weeks post PU surgery and is doing great on the urinary aspect of things. Still in the process of weening him off his cone because he overgrooms everywhere when we do, but we have made progress. All of his external stitches have dissolved, but I was curious if anyone...

I think the surgery she was talking about was to surgically put in a catheter to flush him out. Said there was bacteria in his urine that caused it.

YES. My cat had the same problem. You have a choice to make because it will continue to happen. Have your cat put down or have PU surgery. PU surgery cost around $2000 at K-State in Kansas, but so far it helped my cat. Its going on 3 years now and my cat is doing good. Pees a lot but hanging in...

Thank you so much, I'm sure the lack of sleep isn't helping. I have to watch this little stinker like a hawk because once that gabapentin wears off he's a pro at making the cones and collars come off too 😂

...gray tabby Food: 1.5-2 cans Royal Canin SO wet only Whole Lofe freeze dried chicken sprinkled on top .1ml CBD oil We are 3 months post PU surgery and he started having constipation 3 weeks ago. He didn’t poo for 3 days and took him in for enema and were told to do miralax daily for 3...

I know this post is almost a month old, but I wanted to share our experience. Our boy, Simba, had PU surgery more than two years ago. One of the things the vet recommended was changing to pellet litter (Fresh News, Feline Pine). We did that, and he hasn't had a single issue -- no infection, uses...

I agree with @Seymour about the specialist. However, you are still placing too much of the blame on yourself. It was not your job to have such a high level of expertise with PU surgeries that you would have known what was happening. That is what we pay vets and doctors for. Some vets do believe...

Hi! My cat had PU surgery almost exactly one year ago (December 24, 2021) after a pretty severe blockage and trauma in that region (ending with his prepuce outside of his body because he somehow ripped his catheter and stitches out when they were trying that method of unblocking him—just to put...

So sorry to hear this.. ((hugs)). You certainly have had more than your share of bad luck, recently.. :grouphug:🤗

I'm still struggling a lot with the weight that my decision has negatively affected my sweet boy, but I'm trying to see it like how you've described it. You're definitely right, I do not have surgical expertise or extensive veterinary medical knowledge. I quite literally didn't even know that...
