Hey All,
I'm very much over sensitive about watching for the signs of urinary blockage (due to what happened with one of our cats). I am almost sure I am over-reacting here but I wanted to get an objective 3rd party opinion.
Junior (~2 year old male) was in the litter box the other day with hesitant peeing (short bursts). A couple days before that we had noticed his eyes were a bit glossy and his third eyelid was red but not significantly. The redness/glossiness mostly went away but with this peeing in bursts I am worried it might be pain or something else. Volume is normal, not taking an excessive amount of time, energy level is pretty normal for him (on the high end overall).
I guess my real question is at what point is it considered "hesitation" (get to vet ASAP) vs simply a shy bladder or something not worth a $200+ vet visit?
