Anybody ever have a male cat with stones already in the urethra that *didn't* block subsequently? I have a 9-year-old tabby who had CaOx bladder stones 3 years ago that were surgically removed. So far so good until he started acting up again this month. Took him to the vet, got an x-ray; bladder totally clear but two sizable stones in his urethra. He's able to pass urine, albeit with blood from time to time, so my vet seemed a little stumped. Treated him for a UTI and told me to keep an eye on him in the meantime, but no alarm bells.
We've got an appointment with an internal medicine specialist in a couple days at a hospital where they could perform surgery on him if necessary, but I'm super worried he won't last until then with those stones where they are...
Anybody have a male cat who had stones that far down that didn't wind up needing surgical removal?
