This was yesterday morning when i got back from my morning run & he wanted love

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...

Thank you. I'm hoping it goes well. I am keeping everything crossed

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

definitely, i feel much more positive & less powerless now

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! I also 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...

Thank you. Me too. I find out today. Hoping for a positive outcone

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...

Here is a picture of him <3

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...

Well i think the concern is there may be a tumour, in which case the foods & drugs won't really help in that case. I think i'd rather spend the money to be sure. If it were a cancerous tumour unrelated to his FLUTD then my insurance WILL pay out, minus my excess + 20% of costs

They are suggesting antidepressants if it's more stress from the FLUTD, but doing that without the tests would be guessing. I'm spreading the payments over 2 months. They said of course put to sleep is an option, but i said i'd rather exhaust all options to know i've done the best for him i can...

I took him to the vets this morning, vet has called with an update & it doesn't look too good his kidneys are not functioning as well as they could (but could be worse) he needs to have them scanned but he will not allow them to awake so needs to be put under. There is the potential of a growth...

thank you i will do

they felt him, couldn't feel his bladder & then the table was a bit wet so it seemed he weed when they felt him poor little thing thank you, i just hope i can find out what is wrong, the most heartbreaking bit is he won't come near me, & the few seconds he does i have to try ram pills down his...
