Yesterday he was perfectly fine until at 10pm I found him sitting in the litter box, which i'd never seen him do before. This morning he was constantly going in and out of all the litter boxes so I started to monitor if he was actually peeing and he was only producing about marble size pee balls over and over again. After hearing all the horror stories on here I knew it could get serious fast and got him in the vet this afternoon. They felt his bladder and said it was full but not hard. They gave him an injection and some liquid oral medicine, which I completely forgot to ask what kind of medicines. They said they would observe him and decide tomorrow morning if he needed a catheter.
For the past 4-5 months I have been changing his diet for the sole reason of preventing this exact problem. He has a water fountain that he loves and drinks from regularly. I switched him away from seafood, and he has been eating as much wet food as he is willing, which is about 65% of his calories. No matter how much he likes the wet food he reaches a point where he just stops eating and walks away. He currently gets 3 meals a day so it might be possible to get him to eat more wet food with more meals.
Hopefully he is fine and can come home tomorrow.
