Urine Crystals, Blockages And Everything Else

Good to hear that Gus is still doing well! Hopefully, you will get even more ideas to help with the financial aspect. Prescription food can be prohibitively expensive for some budgets!

I would recommend trying tinkle tonic.
Animal Essentials Tinkle Tonic Herbal Dog & Cat Supplement

I am filing that away for future reference!

Today's post is not what I wish it was. I noticed this morning Gus was having some issues, I was able to get off work early to rake him to the vet. He was acting normal, eating food he just seemed to be struggling to go pee. I was hoping he was having a flare up of FIC or a UTI, unfortunately, he has strictured. I knew after the second surgery there would be no other options but I hate that it has come to this. I couldn't bring myself to put him down when he was acting like his goofy self, and the vet felt comfortable ging me some meds to keep him comfortable, as long as I bring him in when he stops eating or using the bathroom. So for as long as he is not in pain, we will enjoy our time together, and he will get to eat whatever he wants to eat and do what he whatever he wants.

I am so sorry to hear this. Just remember, you are not on this journey alone. We will be here.

So this week was pretty good. I was honestly expecting to have to say goodbye after the weekend, but Gus pepped back up by Saturday. He still has strictures there is no fixing that but for right now he is going if in very small amounts and seems pretty happy. So we will just keep living life until his quality of life starts to go.

Sometimes, that is all that we can do, to be watchful and unselfish when the time comes! I'm keeping the candle lit that that time may be a good bit from now!

Everyday since my last post was a good day for Gus until today. This morning Gus was blocked. I called the vet and we let Gus go. He was an amazing cat and will be missed

OH NO! I am so sorry. The two of you fought so hard. My heart with yours.

You literally did EVERYTHING possible for Gus. I am so sorry to hear this news. Your efforts were nothing short of heroic for sweet Gus.

Ughh, IMO, blockages and PU surgeries are some of the most complicated things a cat can go through.
