Anyone have experience helping a traumatized cat cope and heal after an intensive vet stay?

Thanks for the advice, we are watching them intently. So far, having switched to just the Royal Canin SO Urinary, no one is throwing up. Not sure if they have any allergies...I believe the Royal Canin is a little better quality food than we were feeding them before, but not by much.

Good thinking. Yeah, the vet didn't really give specifics on how to feed the foods, but just to try them. We have since switched to just the Royal Canin SO Urinary, and so far no one has been throwing up. Thank you.

Our vet recommended we put our cat on Hills CD Urinary & Royal Canin SO Urinary because our male cat got blocked due to struvite crystals (he since has been unblocked, $2000 later). This was right before Thanksgiving and we've been feeding these diets to the cats since then, but are now finding...

Anyone have experience with a traumatized cat from a vet experience, particularly an unblocking process? Since we've had Neo home he's been super jumpy, easily spooked, and abnormally twitchy especially when sleeping. I think some of the twitchiness was due to the medications he was taking...

Yeah Neo is almost exclusively eating the prescription dry food with some water mixed in. It is really expensive, and trying to feed 3 cats...it goes quick! Tried a little bit of a grain-free, junk-free, meaty wet food to see if he'd like it and to get some more liquids in him and he did eat...

Good to know. The majority of what Neo is eating right now is the dry prescription diet with some water mixed in. Been happily surprised that he's taken a liking to eating it like that. We've tried a little bit of wet food, but it's been a particular kind that doesn't have grains and other...

We just had the same thing happen with our cat Neo being blocked up. If your cat is blocking again, which it sounds like he is, you MUST take him to the ER. Do you have a 24 hour vet ER in your area? If he's having seizures that probably means his potassium is low...getting bloodwork will...

Thanks for everyone's advice and support! A little update: Neo seems to be doing a good deal better since he's been home and his urethra and bladder have had a chance to heal and calm down.  He's taken a liking to the water fountain bowl for the most part, and with some tips and tricks, we've...

Yes, when we took Neo in to the ER they did blood work and tested his urine, and despite being blocked, his levels were all really good, including potassium. The vet said we caught it really quick so it hadn't started to affect his levels and organs negatively. Thanks for your input, so sorry...

Wow that is a great idea! Never heard of it before...will be sure to ask them about it! Wonder why the vet never mentioned it before. Thank you!

Oh whoops, you said your cat is on Royal Canine SO Urinary? I was thinking of the Hills S/D...we have the C/D but others were mentioning S/D. Still learning all the different ones and sometimes it's confusing. ;-)

It was really horrible seeing him struggling. He seems to be peeing better overall...he's been home about a week now and I think his bladder and urethra have calmed down since having the catheter in.  That's interesting about the RC urinary...I've heard others mention that as well, but the vet...

Hey! :-) We got the products...we tried the Rescue Remedy which seemed to help Neo calm down a bit more...are going to be trying the Tinkle Tonic soon. Will let you know how it goes. 

Thanks for all the info...really appreciate it! Will check out those links. We are feeding him the Hills C/D Urinary and the Royal Canin SO Urinary, both of which the vet gave us, but haven't tried the canned food only because while he was in the ICU he wouldn't eat any of the wet. We have...

Hi, my friends on Instagram said I should get some advice here for our 5 year old male tuxedo cat, Neo. He was having trouble peeing and was trying to go in locations other than his litter box so we took him into our local vet ER at 3:00 am last Saturday morning. They found that his urethra...
