I do feel for you, hon. I had a cat with renal failure a few years ago.
We did the whole 9 yards: subq's, etc.
I know this is a difficult time for you.
My Buster has bouts with this off and on, too. The stainless steel bowl
does work very well, as does the peroxide. It will just take time for it to clear up . . . and it will!
Just an update -
The stones were calcium oxilate. Buster will be on either a diet
of U/D or N/F, depending on which he likes better.
He had his staples out Friday and he's doing great! He sure did
give us a scare though. But he's recovering very nicely.
Thanks, guys. We took him to the ER clinic last night due to his
severe discomfort and lack of appetite. His bladder was fairly empty,
they ran a blood panel which looked good, gave him subcutaneous

I know all too well how quickly vet bills can skyrocket. My Buster went

He is very social . . . he loves company and he'll sit in...
Thanks to you all for your replies.
Here is a bit more info: Last Tuesday morning, Buster had trouble peeing and I took him to the vet immediately. He was x-rayed and the bladder stones were detected. They catheterized him every day, then took it out to see if he would pee on his own and...
He had a shot of painkiller before we brought him home. I would say that he'd need more than that for the next couple of days.
The vet said diarhea and/or loss of appetite might occur for the first day or so . . . but after that, call the office or take him to the ER. I guess I was...
Hello all. I just joined tonight and this is my first post.
My cat, Buster, is male and approximately 10 years old. He had a cystotomy yesterday (surgical removal of bladder stones) morning. We brought him home last night. He was fairly giddy, had a great appetite, kept visiting his...
