OK so my 6.5 year old male kitty who by the way is approximately 20 lbs...has had a pretty serious uti...we thought we got it he kept getting worse. By Sunday night/Monday morning he was blocked...took him to the vet first thing Monday morning. We've been back and forth to vet a lot in the last few weeks. They discovered he was blocked unblocked him immediately Monday morning...he spent the night I picked him up late last night. He is still having trouble with wanting to eat. He will drink water willingly but eats so little I know it's really doing him no good. I have been force feeding him royal canin recovery. (I am not happy about that one different topic different day) I've been feeling him with a syringe andmostly to get something in him and also to make sure he can take his pain meds.
So after that long intro my question is should I continue up to force him or could he develop an aversion to food simply because he's being forced? He has a follow up appointment tomorow afternoon and thought of asking for medication to increase his appetite. I am not super happy about more medication and they keep talking to me like he will need a weekly injection and a daily pill for his bladder simply because he had a massive uti and developed crystals...now I know it's possible it could recur but am I being fear mongered? Sorry I need some advise that isn't coming frI'm someone I'm paying for advise.
