Hi! I posted a few days ago about my neutered 8-month-old male kitten not peeing as often as he used to. I took him to the vet and they did an ultrasound and found the beginnings of a mucus obstruction. The vet said that the go-to treatment is to put him on a catheter and confine him at the clinic for a few days while they flush it out, but she also said that, since the plug is very small (he can still urinate and there’s no pain yet), it might also be possible for me to just treat him at home with meds (antibiotics for a week, Diazepam for three days), feed an exclusively wet diet, and make sure he drinks water, and he might be able to get rid of it himself. I am leaning more towards the second option because, as I mentioned in my first post, he’s already been through a lot of changes recently and it would be so much stress for him to be confined. However, if confinement plus catheter is the better option, then I will do it.
What do you guys think? If medicating at home has been feasible in someone’s experience, I would sincerely appreciate any tips and tricks. Thank you
