Such good news on Tintin! He's surely a handsome fella in his own set of black kitty fur.
I agree 100% with Margd. I'm guessing Tintin is also taking an anti-inflammatory to quiet down the inflammation in his bladder and that will take time to happen. With that said, keep an eye on him and don't hesitate to call the vet (hopefully you'll get someone a little more helpful, in the need arises!)Some of it could be the pain meds wearing off since the sensations are making him feel like he has to pee even if his bladder is empty. However, from what I understand, it's very normal for urination to be quite irregular after this procedure and urine often comes in dribs and drabs. The main thing is that he keeps producing something. Sometimes cats do reblock shortly after being unblocked so you do need to keep an eye on him, though. Hopefully with all the water he's drinking, he'll produce more urine soon and reassure you that he's okay.
It's unfortunate that the vet tech wasn't more helpful. You just dropped a lot of money at the vet there so it's perfectly reasonable to expect your follow-up questions to be answered. I'd call again if Tintin continues to just squeeze out a few drops at a time and ask them point blank if this is something to worry about.
It's nerve wracking, I know. When Chula had her UTI I was a wreck, constantly worrying that I should be racing her back to the vet. She did the same thing - just producing drops. Even though I knew female cats rarely get blocked, I was sure she was the exception.After 30 minutes hes finally stopped trying to pee. I called the vet again and they don't seemed too concerned since he's still producing urine. Im ready for this to be over.
