    Urinary Blockage; Cat Not Eating; Vet Says Nothing Wrong

    I'm so sorry to hear your kitty is going through this :( I hope they are doing well and have a smooth recovery. So far things are going well. He came home 2 days late due to kidney levels but in that time we convinced the vet to relook at his medication. They ultimately cut 3 of his 4 meds and...

    Urinary Blockage; Cat Not Eating; Vet Says Nothing Wrong

    Thank you for the recommendation :) However, I wanted to rule out if food flavour was the issue or it was something medical so these were some of the first things we tried and he still did the sniff and walk away or gagged. That's when we know something was wrong. He is very food motivated lol.

    Urinary Blockage; Cat Not Eating; Vet Says Nothing Wrong

    It is sort of an ER vet. I live in a small city; it's the only vet clinic with overnight staff. No matter what vet we take him to, he HAS to go to the 24/7 staff clinic after the blockage is cleared so that they can place the catheter and monitor. Yes to the blockage in 5 days. We took him to...

    Urinary Blockage; Cat Not Eating; Vet Says Nothing Wrong

    From what I've read, yes. They have him on Metacam, Buprenorphine, Prazosin and Gabapentin every 8 hours for the first 3 days which I've read are known to cause nausea/loss of appetite. We tried to give him water when he was home to help keep him comfortable but he was refusing that too and even...

    Urinary Blockage; Cat Not Eating; Vet Says Nothing Wrong

    Thank you. It really is. Unfortunately, we are a fairly small city so we only have one emergency vet too so there's really no where else we can take him until he is out of the clinic :(

    Urinary Blockage; Cat Not Eating; Vet Says Nothing Wrong

    So our 3 year old male cat ended up with a urinary blockage 5 days ago. We managed to get him to the emergency vet pretty quickly. They ran the usual tests, did the catheter and 3 days later said he was good to come home. They did warn us he wasn't eating in clinic which I assumed was due to...

    Help with High Energy/Destructive cat

    Yeah we definitely have a plan to do that. We're just wondering what we can do to burn off his energy/curb the bad behaviour because nothing seems to be working. I know if we fix the couch problem, he'll find something else to tear up o_O

    Help with High Energy/Destructive cat

    Sorry this is a long post So we have 2 male cats, a 2 year old named Leo and a 7 month old named Flash. We adopted Leo when he was a kitten and he's always been very calm and well behaved. The only time Leo misbehaves is when he is trying to tell us something. Flash however is a different...
