Hello!
I have been coming on here for the last 2 weeks to ease my mind about my cats recent blockage. Thankfully he's been doing well...up until this past weekend, and I cannot find any other posts regarding this exact situation.
My 5 year old male cat Glenn had two urinary blockages in 2015. He was also living with another (dominant) male cat during that time, which after his 2nd block, we rehomed the other cat (technically he went back to his original home). Since July 2015, he has been fine! Has gained a bit of weight, has dealt with other minor changes in the apartment, and has officially been adopted by myself.
However, I was in the process of moving during the month of April (bringing some things down to our new apartment slowly to not stress him out) and had it planned he would move down officially on 4/27 with my bed and clothes! He was also going to be introduced to a dog (who he has never seen before) and he has only ever lived in the old apartment.
On Tuesday 4/24 I took him to the vet for final vaccinations and to get a recommendation for an anxiety medication for the hour drive to the new apartment and transition. 4 hours later, he was in the litterbox for 15+ minutes straining to urinate. I took him to the vet ER and $1400 later, he was there for two nights for a blockage.
Along with the sudden trip the vet, and changes in the apartment, I had also switched him to the Rachel Ray food. Since leaving the ER, he has been on a strict Science Diet C/D diet. We also did the move, and oddly enough, he has been recovering well and transitioning nicely (still will take more time for him to get used to smaller quarters and the dog).
Then around 3:30am Sunday morning, I noticed he kept going to the box, peeing a little, coming out, licking himself, returning to the box, over and over for 2 hours until finally he came to bed. His behavior, his appetite, his demeanor have been normal! Last night about 8pm, I noticed blood in his urine.
He had urine in his blood in 2015 after the last blockage, and his vet just prescribed him the same medication to continue, then he was fine a week later. Same as then, he had normal appetite, behavior, etc.
I am waiting to hear back from the vet ER he was treated at, but I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this? He is still peeing, no straining, just frequently going.
