they're keeping him overnight and perhaps Saturday, and giving him a catheter (sp?). I feel so bad for him; he's never been away without us except when he was neutered as a kitten 
he may have to stay tomorrow, too. It just depends on how he recovers and how he's feeling. I'm really hoping he feels better, and not too scared or in pain!They got the catheter in place, and also had to clean out his bladder, as it was very "angry," they said. Poor kitty
Same thing here, my boy blocked when he was around 1 or 2. Got him to the emergency vet in time, and he went thru the catheter and they pumped massive fluids into him before he came home late the next day to help 'flush" him out. He was fine, but we had to watch his diet. He wouldn't eat the U/D, but kept him on Friskies special diet.
Healing thoughts for you both, it is scary. I'm not sure how old your boy is, but i recall a vet telling me that he rarely sees cases of male blockage after they are 2 or 3, you may want to ask your vet if there is any truth to that... (I'm not a vet, nor do I play one on TV). Later in my boy's life I just fed him canned whatever he would eat, he never blocked again and lived a healthy life until 18.
If it hasn't been mentioned, a Drinkwell water fountain is a great way to encourage water drinking to dilute his urin for the future.
I'll bet he's feeling better already and will be happy to be home again soon! Healing vibes for you both

I'll try it again, though, if I remember. And I'll soak his food in a little bit of water, as online searches say to do 
Can you elaborate on what this means please? I get an uneasy feeling when I read this.He has been on a strict ISO, vet-recommended brand for about a year now, ever since his bladder crystal issues first started.
And I'll soak his food in a little bit of water, as online searches say to do
I mean I'll dampen his kibble up a little bit, to hydrate him more
