    Question about feline urinary catheter, method and procedure

    My cat has been experiencing urinary blockage. Took him to a new vet today after an overall disappointing experience with the last one. I'd like to know if it's common practice to leave a urinary catheter without a collection system in place? I've already read it can be cause for bacterial...

    Veterinary Incompetence?

    Thank you both for replying and clearing that up for me. Glad to hear I this was just me being foolish and not reading all the information thoroughly rather than my vet being mistaken.

    Issue urinating (possibly related to kidney trouble)

    My male cat, Boris will be 7 years old this June. He's never had any health problems until lately when it comes to urinating, it seems. He's been going in and out of his litter box producing little urine, licking himself a lot after coming out of the box and sometimes even vomiting. When the...
