My 5 year old cat suffers with urinary blockages and unfortunately had one 1.5 weeks ago. He had a really traumatic time at the vets even running around the kennel and injuring his mouth and nose. We made the decision to bring him home and luckily, he peed after a couple of hours and has had zero issues with urinating since.
However, he's appeared not himself for the past 3/4 days now, progressively eating less, playing less and displaying all symptoms of being in pain. The issue is that he let's me touch his stomach, stretches as normal and doesn't appear to be in pain otherwise.
He was prescribed buprenorphine along with metacam and gabepentin (he was already on gabapentin). After 4/5 days, the buprenorphine (0.2ml every 8 hours) was reduced slowly. I thought it could even be withdrawal symptoms or side effects as it can cause constipation. However, my mum says he has pooped approx 2 days ago.
I'm so stressed and worried as I've called the vets twice today and no one got back to me. He went outside with me (which he loves) and was running around playing. We came home, he felt unwell again. Refused dinner and ended up eating tuna later, immediately felt unwell again.
This Seems like a cycle of up and down throughout the day. I'd appreciate any advice!
