Cat meowing while peeing?

More gabapentin, or something else to help with anxiety. Can you get some more gabapentin, sooner rather than later?

When they did the ultrasound, did any one mention inflammation? He might need anti-inflammatories, and perhaps anti-spasmodics. The thing is even if he had no blockage before, if he is inflamed enough it can cause at least a partial blockage and pain.

Pay serious heed to the information above about cystitis.

they didn’t mention anything about inflammation but they did prescribe an anti inflammatory that he took for three days. I can get some more gabapentin tomorrow. (It’s almost 11pm where I’m at right now).

just stressing me out. I can’t just shove him in a carrier and rush to the vet every time he makes a noise when he pees - it’s not practical, and it’s very stressful for him which could potentially make things worse.

I mean, I’m just confused. If this ends up being some type of cystitis that is reoccurring, how do I know it’s not a life threatening blockage or a uti every single time? What if this happens once or twice a month? You know what I mean? I can’t afford to bring him twice a month to an emergency vet every time I think there is a problem, only for it to be inflammation.How do others with cystitis cats do it?

If they determine this to be FIC, he will need to be on some meds to help with that, like a longer term anti-inflammatory, perhaps an anti-spasmodic, more pain or anxiety med, and a calmer lifestyle. Cystitis needs to be taken seriously. You need to find a vet that will help you down the path of giving him the assistance he needs - for the both of you - to learn how deal with it.

Here are some other threads where FIC is discussed, maybe you can look through them to see what other have said. Not all if them may be totally applicable, but some of the information might be helpful to you.

yes definitely. I want to talk to my vet to figure out where the line is drawn as far as an emergency goes and what to do to maintain him. I don’t feel as if our house is stressful at all - nothings changed as of late - he eats wet food (not exclusively but it’s worth a shot - he is particular :/) and I’ve noticed he drinks pretty well for a cat. So I guess my only other options are prescription food and more gabapentin.

is this something that could wait until morning after I’ve talked to my vet? He seems totally comfortable right now.

It’s impossible to say without being there with him. I think you are going to have to discover a way to monitor the amount of urine he produces. Also have the vet teach you how to check his bladder.
You could try calling an ER and asking them if a tech could just check his bladder for you.

If he hasn't peed more than 24 hours, I would rush him to the ER/vet. It's unlikely he's blocked if ultrasound and urinalysis didn't detect stones. What about WBC in urinalysis? If they are present, that indicates inflammation in the urinary system.

How is he doing now?

You think, even with no other symptoms? I think I'm just on high alert because of the meowing but right now he is absolutely chillin. I mean I don't check his pee regularly, I just scoop it out, so this could have been a normal amount for him, I just don't know. Just seemed like a small amount, you know.

I would take him thats how tiger started and 2 days later were rushing him to the er for a blockage
