I am really hoping for some sound advice. My 2 1/2 year old Tangerine has had quite a year. Started in july when he first blocked. Then he kept blocking, everytime they took the catheter out, he blocked again, which led to the penial uresthromy (spelled it wrong). Which led to a major infection, which led to fatty liver disease, which led to another surgery. Needless to say he's been through a lot. He was at the vet for 3 weeks... When he came home the vet said to feed him what he will eat.
6 mos later... he gained 8 lbs (which is what he was at..) and BLOCKED again two weeks ago. Docs couldn't tell me why, just an infection that had him inflamed which made him not be able to go to the bathroom. 2 weeks with a catheter again... and it's coming out thursday. (cross your fingers).
please please please... don't want to go through this again... anyone have advise... food? i bought uti treats, uti paste, and purina one urinary tract wet and dry food... can i be doing else?
has anyone used baytril antiobiotic before. he was on 2 shots a day, and i mentioned to the vet he may have gotten used to this, so now on clamamox.
I am starting to become obsessed. i watch everything he does, follow him around, pretty much hand feed him, sit up with him... i have many conversations with the vet to put him down, but the vet really wants to try to get him well.
any help would be appreciated.
