He's doing well, eating Hills kidney pouches that I mix with water so I know he's getting water in. He's very hungry....so I'm thinking it is because there is no hard food.  He's eating 1.5 pouch in the morning.  Another pouch spread throughout the day and 1 at night, spread into 2 servings...

Harry was found this morning!  Belly is small and he was very hungry.    The Spca, vets, neighbors, strangers all helped out with FB posts and the call came this morning that he was spotted.    We are so happy. Will speak with Vet later and see how to proceed with him.  But, I got lots of...

Harry ran away last night.  He opened the handle on a door, that wasn't locked, which took effort.  We spent 3 hours in fields and driving small roads. As this is rural Ireland, there is just wide open land with farms.  Just back after looking this morning & have all the neighbors looking. We...

He's urinating A LOT, which is great!   He is still very hungry.  He's urinated about every 20 minutes.....had one bowel movement since Saturday at 3pm.    Never thought I'd ask this a week ago.....could he be urinating too much at that rate?  They are normal size now.  He's crying much, much...

Harry is home today until Monday.....longer if he keeps urinating. The vet on today said they took the catheter out Thursday and he urinated for them once on Friday and this morning.....so she said  let's see what happens.   Another vet there said, no, we'll keep him for another while.  We...

FLUTD drip question Hi Can anyone who has gone through FLUTD please tell me how long their cat was on the drip & catheter to clean the bladder out? Did it work?  Thank you. 

Urine test back from lab showing no crystals or anything wrong. Vet said she called pathologist at lab as they can see the 'sand' in the ultra sound and they had a long discussion about Harry.  Both are stumped.  She said the next step, if he doesn't get well is to send him 2 hours away for a...

Still in hospital....2 calls from the Vet.   1. approval to send urine sample to Dublin, again. 2, To sedate him to put drip in as he's fighting them. He's eating and they said he's in good form. Poor guy is breaking my heart

Back in Hospital today.  He came home Saturday afternoon and first urine was 24 hours later.   He was very, very, very hungry.....played for first time in a long time.  Cried a lot, one cry to get out,  one in pain to urinate.  No problem putting a lot of water in his food.  He didn't even try...

Hi, I've been writing all about our male cat Harry's medical problems on the Cat Health forum, but since he is home for now, I'm hoping you can help me with his nutrition.  We live in Ireland.  He has FLUTD and just got out of hospital today after weeks of being diagnosed.  The catheter just...

Harry has FLUTD, blood still in urine as of this morning. We have him home here as of an hour ago....have to bring him back on Monday for check.  They said they have never had a case like Harry.....which kinda freaks me out. He was on a catheter from Monday until last night, Friday.  They...

Hoping  I can get answers to the questions prior to meeting vet again today.   Thank you for the encouragement!!!  

Hi, a few questions please.....   I agree with everything you said and I now wonder how long it was going on until he went down with a fever. When the vet said it was sand, i said do you mean crystals?  She said no, first comes crystals, then sand then stones.   So that part has me confused...

Hi, Has anyone had the problem of sand in the bladder?   I cannot find anything about sand.....just crystals? Thanks for replies and for sure this is the end of this Vet.  Which has supposed to be 'the best'.    Thank you :)
