Stress could be a reason he stopped using the litter box, but I would definitely have a urinalysis done just to rule out the possibility of a UTI regardless. Better safe than sorry, especially when it comes to male cats and urinary issues.

Hey everyone, Just wanted to give an update regarding Kai. Despite being switched to wet food Kai actually blocked AGAIN. This time it was over the long weekend so our usual vet was closed and we were referred to a new emergency vet we've never dealt with before. They said with the PU surgery...

Wow, been super busy these past few days so just seeing all these responses now! Thank you so much for all the input and advice! So far Kai seems to be doing awesome. I actually ended up having my dad pick up 3 of the 13oz cans of Friskies before leaving for his trip so that's what he's been...

It was a dry food. I'm not sure what the ingredients were exactly - no fish that I recall but I don't remember what flavour it was exactly and I burnt the bag so I can't check. All I recall is that it was grain free.

Thanks guys! I just got home from picking Kai up. I was going to buy some cans of wet while was there but the vet suggested I keep feeding him his regular food, as they're worried about stressing him too much if I make changes so soon after being released but sent me home with 2 small cans of...

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone could give me some food recommendations for a cat who is prone to blockages? A little over a year ago my 4 year old cat, Kai, had a bout of recurring blockages that resulted in PU surgery. For over a year following the surgery Kai's problems seemed to...

As the title says, I accidentally ingested medication intended for my cat. I'm going to be fine, the medication is also used in humans and it's such a small does it's unlikely to have any effect however that doesn't make me feel any less stupid. The worst part is, it wasn't even a mixup, I just...

Thanks for your response. He seems to be okay. He has been peeing small amounts pretty frequently, but I've read some posts saying that was normal after being catheterized, if it continues I am going to call the vet and see what they say, though I am wondering if it may be due to pain...

Hi everyone. Thursday morning my cat Kai went to the vet with a Urinary Obstruction and needed overnight care and to be catheterized twice. He was finally given the "okay" to come home yesterday and I was prescribed both Novo Prazin - 1/2 a tablet every 12 hours, and Metacam once daily for 7...

I am thinking that reflux is probably what he had, his cries sounded more like pain cries than anything. He seems to be doing fine now though. Every time I check on him he is latched. 

Thanks for the response! I actually did sling him. I should have mentioned that sorry, my family breeds dogs and we've done it with puppies in the past so instinctively it was the first thing I did before I wiped his mouth and nose with the cloth. I'm not sure if this particular kitten had...

My cat Bella is currently in labor and has given birth to three gorgeous babies so far. Moments ago I noticed one of the babies cries were particularly distressed sounding and went to check on it. The kitten was quite a ways away from mom and siblings so I picked him up so I could place him...

Thank you for your reply. I didn't have any enzymatic cleaner on hand. Will it still be effective in getting rid of the smell if I already washed it and am waiting to buy some? 

Forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong forum, I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with getting cat urine out of 100% polyester? Earlier today I caught one of the kittens peeing on my favorite polyester blanket. I managed to grab the little guy and move him to the litter box...

Thanks, I tried using the black light bulb in the lamp like you suggested and it didn't work for me at all, I went to all the spots I've seen him go in and not a thing showed up :( My dad said he's going to borrow a black light from work and bring it home tomorrow night so hopefully I have some...
