    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    Hi Mr. Frank, My furbaby had the surgery just over a year ago now and I vividly remember it being one of the most stressful times of my life. I want to let you know that I'll be here if you need to talk or need some reassurance with the procedure/recovery! I remember being on this site during...

    Hi Elise1030! I am glad your kitty is doing better now!  The recovery process is definitely hard on you - but it is so worth it after the fact. Its been about a month since my kitty had the surgery, and about a week since he has been 100% himself again. He is running around cone free, sleeping...

    Hi Tunatoonster! I went through this will my kitty a month ago, so the recovery process is very fresh for me. I know it is such a stressful time for your kitty and the family.  My guy had the mucousy film around the area too - that is normal. When he pees it should be washed away. The vet gave...

    Witty is still doing great! Tomorrow he has his check-up and if everything is healed well and good to go, he can finally be cone-free and have roam of the house again :)

    Thank Mosimom! I started to look for a bunch of positive Convenia experiences before I went to bed so I could actually sleep lol I found quite a few so I felt a bit better.  Still on alert though!  Hes acting normal, and as said, the infection is clearing up. Minimal blood in urine now :)...

    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    Mosimom, the convenia shot worked really quickly for him (I noticed less frequent litter trips, more urine produced, and less blood in urine after a few hours) - however, I have just done some research on it and am pretty freaked out with all the horror stories. I will NOT be letting him get...

    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    Hey Nerdrock, We got some gauze and make it damp with warm water to clean his behind and pat the area down.  The discharge seemed to be an isolated event.  We took him to the vet and he had a bladder infection :( poor guy. He was on baytril but the vet switched him to zenequin.. and gave him a...

    Note: he just pooed too. Could the blood have been present more because he was trying to poo and was straining more than he would have if he was just peeing?  Still a bit concerned about the discharge - vet is closed today for holiday, I will call tomorrow and ask them but still would like to...

    Hey guys, just have a little bit of a concern. He is peeing fine, but I feel like over the past few days there was minimal to no blood in his urine, but he just peed again right now and there seems to be a bit more blood in the urine than before. Is it normal for him to still have some bloody...

    GoHolistic, yes I am a bit concerned with the dry food as well. I have given him a bit, but ensuring he has more than enough water mixed in with his wet food to keep him hydrated and peeing like crazy (lol).  I took him back into the vet today as he still did not poop, they gave him a kitty...

    Thanks Pushylady! All he needs to do is poop and I can say he is recovering perfectly! Mosimom, it makes me feel so much better that your little one took a few days to have a bowel movement after she started eating again.  Very relieving.  Keeping my fingers crossed to find some poop tomorrow!

    My Experience With Blockages and PU Surgery

    Hey guys! Thank you for your concern!  He started eating! The vet instructed me to cut back his pain med if he hadn't started eating within 24 hours of his return. I did this and his appetite indeed picked up thankfully!  I have scheduled it so he gets fed right before he gets the pain med, so...

    Hey guys! We picked up Witty today and he is doing well so far! He has urinated 4 times since we got home around noon - he was super excited to be home, very vocal, cuddly, and actively walking around!  He still hasn't wanted to eat, but the vet said that it could be a side effect of the pain...

    Thank you Pushylady! Wittys surgery went well! No complications during - he is still there now in recovery.  He is very uncomfortable and irritated (who wouldn't be after having two catheters and a surgery all done in a week :( ) However he has stood up a few times and peed on the vet tech...

    Am I ever glad I found this thread! And even happier that it is still very much active! Well I would first like to say that I am very happy to hear all the success stories with the PU surgery, and although some of your fur-babies had a grueling recovery, ie. Gusmom, I am super happy that he is...
