The vets have been terrible. They only keep speaking about payments and giving very little information about Bleu.
From what I managed to squeeze out her they are wanting him home with 3 doses of Gabapentin only to give if he starts showing signs of struggling again. And to quote “give him the...
Just back from the emergency vets.
Bleu was on anti spasm medication, morphine, Metacam and Penicillin and still no improvement.
He began passing even smaller amounts of urine so we called the emergency number.
He had a full bladder. She was unable to empty manually under sedation so scanned...
I phoned the vets (also cause tomorrow is a bank holiday!) and they have given him Vetagesic for tonight and tomorrow and also Hypovase tablets for the next 5 days.
They think it’s more pain related why he is consistently going to the toilet as he is passing urine and there is no visible blood...
A urine culture hasn’t been sent. I did question this but they were happy that he was on a broad spectrum antibiotic. Very unusual because at my work (albeit humans), we would always send for cultures if anything is positive.
No, it wasn’t a clean catch urine. He thankfully passed urine on the...
He’s fed twice a day (he’s a greedy boy so his portions are weighed out cause he’ll eat it in one go)
One litter tray (I’ve put inco pads on the floor where he keeps going to the toilet)
How do you mean increasing his confidence?
I’m just surprised the antibiotics haven’t started to take...
Hi!
My boy Bleu is 4 years old and has a history of urethral obstructions. He is a highly anxious cat and is on Urinary food, Cystease and we have felliway diffusers around the house. He’s also currently on Metacam.
His urine smelled very strongly of ammonia last week and a few days later...
Yeah. Hard to pin point with so many changes at once.
He’s actually much brighter today. Was waiting for me when I came gone from nightshift and ran to kitchen meowing for his food!
He’s at all his food today, pee’d and mooched my food so I think I’m slowly getting my boy back! :cheerleader...
Hi!
Bleu has recently returned home (48hrs age) from a traumatic experience at the vet.
He had +++ Struvyte crystals in his urine which caused a urethral plug and he was u able to pass urine. (Still eating and drinking, well in himself)
We took him to the emergency vet and they admitted...
Thank you all so much for the comments.
He is a strange little creature. He doesn’t appear to be stressed or anxious at the time. Maybe he just likes someone to talk to while he does his business sometimes :lol:
He’s a happy, healthy ball of trouble.
I do hope he doesn’t ever outgrow the...
My boy Bleu does this. That’s how we know it’s time to clean his tray. It’s a nice warning before the smell arrives, haha!
We always joke about him celebrating a good poop! :lol:
The wool sucking is adorable! He just likes to sook the blanket till it’s soaking then move onto the next bit. He’s doing no harm and he purrs so intently while doing it. He only does it with me which upsets my partner greatly. Ha!
The poop thing is really baffling. He also does it with us...
Hi all,
Just a question I thought I would ask.
We got Bleu as a kitten several years ago and as a tiny kitten he wouldn’t poop without myself or my partner standing/sitting beside him.
He would cry until one of us came over or would hold onto his stools until we were home.
This behaviour...
