My male cat Hazel, 5, was seen for a blockage 6 days ago after he struggled to urinate but couldn't. His reports said he has struvites and needle like crystals. They catheterized him, gave him IV fluid therapy and put him on antibiotics and homeopathic drops to dissolve the crystals. Later,he dribbled pinkish urine (i know its blood mixed with urine)everywhere. I took him back the next day and they flushed his bladder through the catheter. He somehow managed to pull out his catheter after the flushing. We were asked to monitor him for a day and see if he pees on his own. He started leaking and squirting blood as soon as we took him home. Back to the vet we went, the doctor catheterized him again and now he's doing better. He doesn't dribble all over the house but goes to his litter to pee a fair amount of urine. He doesn't drink (so i feed him water through a dropper) but he's eating the prescribed food. They've asked us to continue the medication and bring him back after 3 to 5 days. My only concern is, he's still bleeding a little through the catheter. Sometimes the urine is yellow, sometimes pink and then if he strains there are a drop or two of blood. Also i noticed there was some litter stuck in the catheter so i cleaned it with a tissue. The doctors were worried about the blood he's losing and asked us to feed him well and on time. I'm anxiety ridden about the blood in his urine as the vet said his urine should be clear by now and its a public holiday so all the clinics are closed. I will surely take him to the vet tomorrow but right now I don't know what to do!
