Well, I spoke to the vet this morning. Gizmo is doing ok and is very frustrated. All the test came back very good, and although all the medications he has been on his kidneys are doing perfect. My vet diagnosed (after urinalysis and xray ) the cause of his pain and urination is coming from the...
Well, if it wasn't for care credit I have no idea how I could have done all this. I was thinking about all the other animals and even people that have to suffer. Because I'm very close to my credit limit on care credit and i he needs longer care that's when I'll have to figure out where to go...
Yes! I was really concerned even after seeing two vets that maybe they just didn't have the required experience with cats. So, luckily I found her and she has 20+ years with just cats. She actually isn't anymore expensive either. How long was your kitty hurting after seeing the specialist? How...
Sadly Gizmo started to go in the other direction. He was really straining to urinate Sunday night. I still did not feel that the PU surgery was necessary so I decided I need to find another vet. There are 4 board certified feline vets in FL and now he is the patient to one of them. She is...
This handsome boy is taking a nap from playing all day! He has made drastic improvements in the last 24 hours! He is like new! No more buprenex!!! He is the happiest and most affectionate he has ever been! Thanks everyone for all your help!
He did better last night, still cried however it wasn't as bad. I left for work this morning and his meds had kicked in and he was sleeping. So, I hop he urinates more comfortably today :) He is finally giving me large puddles!
Yes, this is an improvement from last night. Just have to see if he pees easliy next. Last night he kept looking for a spot after peeing very little. He would cry while he looked. Unfortunately he is discouraged from his box. I have added a few more and changed the litter brand.
Gizmo has his kitty morphine and prazosin. He urinated a lot while I was at work. He is being more active and loving tonight. I'm hoping he may not need to urinate again tonight that way he has a chance to have his second dose of prazosin first thing in the morning. He isn't crying when I try to...
Thank You! I spoke to my vet about his progress through the night, and I told her I think we may be able to get over this with time and without surgery. I also told her I didn't think the Valium was strong enough for his spasms so we are putting him on prazosin. As long as he shows more...
Well, I got the buprenex. The vet wanted to speak to me when i picked it up and she wants to do the PU Suregery. I just feel like for his first offense that is a little extreme. Especially since it could cause him more problems. So, I didn't bring him in this morning instead I asked for...
Thank you! My vet has said she doesn't want to put his kidneys through to much stress with too many medications, but he is miserable. I will call and ask about the medications you were given. two full doses a day of valuim is not making a dent in his pain management
Well, This has been a long and painful experience for my little (18lb) 4 year old Maine coon. His name is Gizmo and he is in excellent health, except for blocking. I rushed him to the vet on Saturday Jan 3rd. The vet said he is at risk for blocking but hadn't blocked yet. We changed his diet and...
