Raiden was diagnosed with FIC in July 2018 with complete blockage. He had no crystals and his blood work by the end of the emergency vet stay was significantly improving aka no permanent kidney damage. The only thing he had was a UTI but they are not sure if it was from the cath or not. Did the whole catheterization for 3 days and he came back home on Royal Canine moderate cal SO. He's been on the food every since with no flare-ups or any symptoms until today. I noticed small amounts of blood around our second litter box and noticed his fur around his urethra slightly pink. He's had no new stressors except us being home all the time (thanks COVID-19). He's acting completely normal play, eating, etc. I'm not sure when the blood showed up because he went this morning in the litter box and it was a hefty amount with no signs of blood in the urine (except his fur was a little pink with a small clot). He never was a fan of drinking water so we always put water in with this moist food 3-4x a day (he gets small servings daily). He's also not on any daily medications. I'm just confused because I've never delt with a flare-up, is this what it is? Could he be blocking again? Do I just monitor his bathroom visits and see if it progresses? It's Saturday so calling my vet is out of the question but we do have an emergency vet nearby. Thanks for the input.
