Hi,
My 9 year old male cat Puma has had a UTI since July 2021 he has been in urinary food and meds since but the UTI just kept coming back. He peed eveywhere, howled while peeing and there used to be blood in his urune. July 2022 we got his x-ray done turns out he had three stones in his bladder, we put him on prescription diet and medicine for a month to see if we could dissolve it. Still the howling, peeing, bleeding continued. After a month, we got a follow up x-ray done and turns out he developed another stone in his bladder!! we rushed him into surgery same day as recommended by the vet, turns out he had calcium oxalate stones. But his urine pH is 9 (alkaline) and he had crystals in his urine (which I'm confused about as that only happens with Struvite stones). Anyways he's back after a week of hospitalisation, he's fine generally, eating well, sleeping well not as active but pees eveywhere. It's almost like he can't control his bladder. I spoke to the vet and they said it's behavioural as he's been peeing irregularly for a year but I still feel like something is wrong. what should I do?? Is this normal in the second week of Cystonomy? he's not on any medication currently as they gave it to him in the first week.
He has a follow up appointment this Thursday so I'll monitor him for now. Please me know what you think, I'm super worried and stressed.
