Ruffles is a 3 year old siamese. He is so loving and goofy. I got him from a rescue and since then we have been in a battle with UTI. After serveral trips to the vet (700$) Antibiotics each time he ended up blocking a a week ago. Being that he had UTI back to back and seemed to have a chronic issue the vet advised the PU surgery. I nervously agreed. He had surgery on a Friday, stayed the weekend and i picked him up on Monday. Everything has been good other then staying up until 2am every morning watching him like a hawk. He has peed everyday and pooed atleast 3 times. ( Its now day 7 ) since he has been home. He does look scabby, red and clear discharge. Now here is when its gotten rocky for us...(yesterday) he was able to get his cone off and lick when i wasnt paying attention !! Terrified i took a picture and the vet wanted me to bring him in asap. The vet who did the surgery wasnt in but another vet checked him and indeed he had chewed off some stitches! I was horrified. They said try to keep urine away from the incision...umm HOW!? I read potrolium jelly to prevent urine scald but idk if it goes all over it or just on sides of the incision. He growls after he pees. Only after not during, no straining so i think the urine is burning/stinging his exposed cut. Also, they didnt leave a catheter in? Is that normal? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Im so exhausted an this has been a nightmare.
