    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    @JamieHendrickx I don't know what I would have done without the support of the people on here. It was such a comfort!!! Also, lots of interesting questions you raise. In regards to the raw diet, I actually brought this up to my veterinarian after my boy's procedure and she was very against it...

    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    @tiffanybc Healing already? Great news!!! I have to tell you, to this day my little dummy avoids his water dish like the plague. So does his brother. Fresh water every morning and evening, they don't care. Running water from a dispenser, still nope. I just mix tons in with their food, as you...

    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    You may need a bigger cone if he's managing to fuss with the stitches. He will hate it, but it's better to be temporarily uncomfortable than to cause any harm to the area while it's healing up! I know it sucks watching him being so restless an uncomfortable, but I promise it's worth it in the...

    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    @okeelady I found out about FIC from my vet just the other day! I had gone on an overnight trip a couple weeks ago and even though my momma came round to check on them, when I got home my boy was urinating blood! I thought, oh goodness, not another infection! But I guess it was the FIC caused by...

    @Tiffanybc Hooray that he is home with you, and remember that as stressful as it may be, it is a great sign he is already energetic! My boy HATED being cooped up, too, and put up one heck of a fuss. It helps to just be there, bring a book or your laptop for Netflix and just hang out in there...

    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    @tiffanybc Oh! And in terms of complete recovery, probably about three weeks? About a week of intense recovery (including those days at the vet), a week and a half or so he was gradually improving day by day (and getting PISSED that his kid brother had run of the house and he didn't - that's...

    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    @Stewball The blockages can, yes, but I gather it is far more rare! They are caused by an unbalanced pH in the cat's digestive system; crystals start to form in their bladder that aren't broken down properly. This can cause them a lot of discomfort and pain when they are trying to urinate. I...
