Hello all,
Last week I posted about my sweet baby Simon who seemingly overnight developed FIC.
Initially he was put on antibiotics bc his urine showed the start of an infection and an anti inflammatory, he finished those and when things still weren’t completely better he was taken back in and put on Prazosin and Burprinex. A few days into that (last Wednesday) and he was still using the litter box frequently only one drop or so at a time so back to the vet we went.
That’s when I was told they can now see small crystals in there, but thankfully his bladder was empty and there was no blockage. He was put on a prescription diet, and gave a couple more days of prazosin.
We are 5 days into this, he isn’t using the litter box a drop at a time anymore but only peeing twice a day (normal sized clumps) and he doesn’t mind the prescription diet. Although he’s a very picky eater so he hasn’t ate much of it. I called the vet back today, she’d like him to go on a low dose steroid for a bit to see if that further helps the inflammation problem.
I guess I’m just writing this because I am scared.
I’m scared of the possibility of a blockage, I’m scared. He’s my baby and I can’t imagine anything happening to him.
Does anyone have any advice or words of encouragement regarding crystals and cats?
Thank you all
