Hi everyone,
I'm in need of some information to help my kitty, Geno.
In January he had a major crystal blockage (3rd time) and the vet opted to perform a perineal urethostomy. Since then he's been having a lot of UTI problems and we have been experimenting on what foods are best for him (that he will actually eat.)
My question, though, is if anyone knows of any home medication I can give him for pain untill I can take him to the vet tomorrow. I live in a very small town and there are no vets open on Sunday and the nearest emergency vet is over an hour and a half away (and me with no legal working car or money to pay them) and wont help me over the phone. At the moment he's laying down in the squatting position so I'm very concerned. He has defecated (today's was runny while last night's was firm) and dribbles urine (turning brown so I know he has an infection starting.)
Also, I've been told cats that have had PU surgeries can't be blocked again, but I still have that fear every time he acts this way. I've found little information on the actual success rates but was wondering if anyone else's cats who have had this surgery have had to remit their cat for blockages.
Thanks in advance.
