Yeah I made an appointment to bring him in for a follow up on Thursday and until then I will be monitoring his urination.  I spoke with the vet and his thoughts aligned with the responses in here so thats good to hear :). It was still a little vague as to how much urine I should be expecting...

Thanks, before all this he was urinating pretty large chunks. Chunks larger than the size of an iPhone 6. And I believe this was usually twice a day, but thats just speculation since I have two cats and its hard to tell who's is who.  I think with all this worry it might be best to just take...

Age: 6 Sex/Neuter status: M/Neutered Breed: Domestic Shorthair Body weight: 17 lbs History: My cat has been eating dry food for his entire life and he was recently having issues urinating. Last Thursday, took him in to the ER to get checked and they found that his urethra was blocked and...

i tried searching google but it seems still a bit unclear for me... im about to foster a dog who is coming from the vet after being treated for kennel cough. luckily my cat is currently at my parents house and he will stay there...but if i visit my parents or something how contagious is...

no, when i called to ask about it, they wanted me to make an appointment with him and charge me AGAIN. (which is understandable) but i'd really rather not. i did ask the other 2 vets why they thought he would think its a tumor, and they said he may have gotten percy's fat confused with a lump...

UPDATE: saw a third vet for a third opinion and he said that it was NOT a tumor. so now im am completely relieved. however my poor kitty is overweight haha. hes 16 lbs...so time to diet! thanks for everyones replies, it helped me a lot in this desperate situation. THANKS AGAIN! heres a picture...

lol thanks for both of your concerns pamszoo and strangwings. i see both of your sides of the story haha update: so i just got a 2nd opinion from a family friend who is a vet. she said that she believes it is not a tumor and instead a skin allergy. but obviously she cannot know for sure...

thanks for the replies and concern. the vet i am currently seeing is not my regular vet. my regular is on vacation till January and another vet is taking his place atm in his office. but i will go back on monday and see what lead him to this diagnosis etc. after i may get a 2nd opinion. but if...

thanks a lot sweetthang, thats actually really informative and backs up my theory of stress even more. like your cat, my cat is totally behaving fine. so we shall see

wow, thanks for all the quick responses everyone @rad65 - yea i can keep him at my parents house or even at my apartment. i just thought that he would get used to it eventually. but if this is the case then he'll stay put somewhere. do you think something like feliway would help him during...

so today i took my cat percy, 1 yrs old MALE, to the vet because he has been having an excessive licking issue on his stomach near his lower nipple. its too the point that all his fur is gone, about the size of a quarter and its pink. no blood that ive noticed, but there was a little scabbing...
