I have a lot of questions, so I appreciate all help I can get.
Does anyone have any success stories with a cat / urinary blockage?
Has anyone had a cat hospitalized with a catheter, and the cat recovered and didn’t have anymore blockages?
My cat was diagnosed with FIC, but with all the testing done, he didn’t have an abnormal amount of crystals.
The vet first prescribed antibiotics, because cat wasn’t blocked. The vet said it was probably UTI.
2nd time was emergency visit. the vet did ultrasound and urinalysis and still prescribed antibiotics. This time the vet said it was FIC And also prescribed prescription cat food.
*everytime my cat was making frequent trips to the litter box, I took him to vet/ or emergency
3rd time I decided to switch vets because I researched and realized a uti was not likely. Went to a new vet and did bloodwork,and ultrasound. They couldn’t do urinalysis because bladder was too small. Prescribed me pain medication for the cat.
4th time, another emergency visit. Vet prolapsed bladder and only blood came out. Cat wasn’t blocked. He prescribed more pain medication and we made appointment for urinalysis because cats bladder didn’t have enough urine for urinalysis.
5th time, my cat stayed at vet all day, pumped him with fluids to get urine. Also did bloodwork, and xray. Normal amount of crystals in urine. Bladder looked fine, bloodwork looked fine. He prescribed my cat prednisone.
6th time: cat was going in an out of litter, took him too emergency. Vet verified not blocked
7th time: cat was going in and out of litter,decided to wait until morning to take him. ( i got used to cat not being blocked). Vet confirmed not blocked, told me to give my car prednisone 2 times a day instead of once a day
Fast forward to yesterday, my cat was very bad. Wasn’t eating, was vomiting, very weak. Called my vet, my vet came in because it was after hours.
This time, my cat is blocked and urinalysis shows crystals and sugar in the blood. Vet says prednisone ( the medication he prescribed ) could of caused sugar in the blood.
Could sugar in the blood cause the formation of crystals?
Im loosing my mind over this.
my cat has a fountain/ plenty of love and play time
