my kitty

[TombRaiderChik]

hey. my cat, Max, has been feeling sick for the past couple of days. he hasnt eaten at all and hasnt gone to the bathroom. he's also been acting very strange and has gone in weird places where he normally doesnt go, ex. today he decided to sit in the sink.

well just a few mins ago i got in from the doctors. they said he has something wrong w/ his bladder so he needs some surgery. the doc said that if we had waited longer, he would've died. when he said that i just lost it and started to cry we won't get to see him for a few days so i hope everything turns out okay.

please pray for my kitty im really worried about him and so is my mom. he's getting old and i hope that he doesn't get any more problems with him after this.

We have a cat that went through what sounds to be similar thing TombRaiderChik. The vets had to use a catheter to help him urinate. Although they said it was due to crystals in the urine and he had a course of tablets and appears to be no worse for the ordeal a few weeks later, he's back to his normal routine, although if we'd left it too long it may have been bad news.
The vet also said that it'd be good to chase him around the house as this would help hime urinate more often.

Hey, i've mention urine quite a few times here, I hope no one thinks i'm taking the.... perhaps not

you're poor cat i hope he is ok. I would pray but i'm not religious i just hope he gets better.

***prays for Max, too***

Hope everything goes well.

It's always sad to see a loved pet go. I'm glad you caught it in time. I'll be praying for Max.

[TombRaiderChik]

thank you guys. it means a lot to me

dhama- i thought i heard the vet mention something about those crystal thingies. thanks for the info. ill try and chase him around more often after he recovers from surgery.

i will pray for your kitty Max, positive thinking never hurts and it often helps. Staticon is right about making the kitty move around,
letting a animal [or a person] become sedintary is not good for them.

[John Carter]

Odd behaviorial changes due to urinary tract/bladder infections occur in humans, as well.

I hope your kitty gets better.

So sorry to hear about your cat!

I hope everything goes well, and Max will be okay.

Sigma sends his wishes to Max too.

[TombRaiderChik]

thanks everyone

i believe he's out of surgery now. but we don't know how he did yet. i hope everything ended up going well. ::knocks on wood::

[croftmania]

I hope everything's all right!
Good luck!

Be prepared for when he comes home after that type of surgey.
He may be a little bit urinarily loose for a couple days if you know what i mean.
Your Doc will probably tell you to adjust him to a low ash diet.
Triumph cat food is good for this. And no fish flavors.
Your standard grocery store varieties are no good for a cat
with urinary problems.
Sounds like you caught it in time.
Your Doc may also have you put him on Hill's Science Diet prescription food
for a while.
Good luck and give him Shep and Yuri's regards.

[TombRaiderChik]

thanks again

deekman thanks for that info. ill keep that in mind.

we called up today to see how he was. hes out of surgery and was doing good. but i think theyre going to keep him there for another day or two.

[Lucky]

Hi I was just wondering if Max was feeling any or showing any signs of getting better.

[TombRaiderChik]

yes he is he's got the runs today (ha that sounds funny) but other than that he's getting better. he hasnt been eating as much because of the new food the doctors gave him, but i guess he just has to get used to it. thanks for asking

[Lucky]

Great glad to here the good news. I hate it when an animal gets sick for one reason or another. I found a thread by Racinlady you might like or maybe have read already but here it is.

[TombRaiderChik]

i saw that last night i printed the thread out and showed my mom, and she loved it.

max went for a checkup today and hes on some new medicine, so he should be getting better soon
