    Perineal Urethrostomy or Let Him Go?

    Unfortunately, most people think I have a lot of vets in my area. ^^; I live outside of the hustle of the city so board certified vets who would have more answers are quite a distance from me. While I was at the vet's office today he said that the catheter has to be inserted to be able to know...

    Perineal Urethrostomy or Let Him Go?

    UPDATE: I haven't posted in a while, not that FireFox would allow me to log in either. Salem had to go back to the vet on Saturday and I was certain he would be having surgery this week. BUT the vet said he was unable to get the cath in so surgery won't be happening. I can put him to sleep...

    Perineal Urethrostomy or Let Him Go?

    I'm trying to do whatever I can. I'm not able to just go grab things like I would want to. I have a can of chicken broth left over from the holidays but it contains onion juice... I don't have a way to go to the store unless I walk or someone takes me. I did set up the water fountain but Salem...

    Perineal Urethrostomy or Let Him Go?

    UPDATE: Salem was outside then he came back in to use the litter box. He peed a little but afterwards started meowing like he was in pain. Every time he comes out of the litter box he starts licking his private area. I hate seeing him like this...

    Perineal Urethrostomy or Let Him Go?

    I'm not sure when he'll be blocked again, it's only been one day so far having him home. As for the fountain, we tried that a while back but he was not interested in the flowing water. I could try hooking it back up again but Salem is very picky about his water. He 99% of the time refuses water...

    Perineal Urethrostomy or Let Him Go?

    Thank you guys so much for giving me advice and helping me make a more intelligent decision on what should come next. I know from what I've read so far about the surgery the outcomes are mixed. I've mostly seen stories with long recoveries and multiple surgeries. I'm one to do anything I can...

    Perineal Urethrostomy or Let Him Go?

    He's always been a mixture of both. And I agree, totally. I need to make all of my children wet food only so maybe that will decrease the risk of having this happen again. The only problem I'm going to have is my dad. He tends to keep a supply of dry food around and keep their bowls full even...

    Perineal Urethrostomy or Let Him Go?

    Thank you. I know that wasn't the best way to introduce myself to a new site. The first time I noticed he had a problem was two days after my birthday which was March 31. The vet later said that I caught this within the first 12 hours. The second time was last Friday. When Salem came home the...

    Perineal Urethrostomy or Let Him Go?

    Hi, I'm new to this site. I was sent here by someone who was kind enough to listen to my current problems. I have a beautiful black cat, who is my son. He's a couple of weeks short of celebrating his 8th birthday. Which I'm afraid he won't make it to his birthday this year... Salem had a...
