Update on our Baby!

Well, after lots of stress and trips to the Vet, Junior is finally peeing on his own, the only thing is he isn't always going in his box. We can handle that for now, we are really happy he is finally peeing. He isn't eating or drinking very much now but we think that has to do with all the stress he has been through in the past week. I just wanted to let everyone know that he is doing good and to say Thanks everyone for all their help and support over this trying time.
Here is a pic of our little guy for the people that haven't seen him before.

Junior had a urinary blockage and was in the Vet for 4 days with an I.V. and catheter. When we brought him home after he still wasn't peeing on his own. After another 3 trips to the Vet he started to pee like a big boy We still have to watch him close to make sure he doesn't reblock, at least he is at home with us we missed him so much when he was at the Vet.

I'm so glad Junior is doing better. I hope he soon uses the litter box. He's just not back in the normal routine yet.

Glad everything worked out!!

Just curious as to your vet's advice to help Junior from having this problem in the future. Harry had this problem 7 months ago. He's been on a diet of prescription dry food and Fancy Feast -- cuz' he just can't live without it -- and he hasn't had a reoccurrence.

Happy everything is okay! By the way, Junior is so adorable!

Our vet told us to put him on the prescription wet food, no more "high ash content" foods. Make sure he drinks lots of water, no more people food, keep him active and make sure he doesn't get too overweight. Junior was a couple of pounds overweight and we were always feeding him people food (such bad parents) So now he is on a diet and we bought him a water bowl that kind of flows the water into a basin, he only drinks out of the tap so we thought this would help him drink more. Hope this helps, if you need more info, just ask

Thanks V.A.C! Harry wouldn't touch the prescription wet food (hence the Fancy Feast), but he really likes the prescription dry food. I also got him one of those water fountains - and he really does use it, and I imagine Junior will use it in a few days. You must feel so much better to have Junior home with you, we all know how hard it is to be away from your furbaby! Hugs and kisses to Junior

I'm glad Junior is feeling better!

It looks like he and his little stuffed friend are nice and cozy. :tounge2:

Hey you are a big boy , Junior !!! Keep up the good "work" !

Im so glad that he is better. He looks like such a tebby bear! And thank you for the up date. I often hear of the problems and not the outcome. Its good to have a happy ending!
