Hi, My cat Romeo had bladder & urethra surgery three days ago and had a catheter put in. He had the catheter taken out yesterday and started to pee on his own. There's still a hint of orange in his urine, not much. I was in such a rush when I went to pick him up because I was late for work I didn't have time to get any answers for all the questions I had. He's on medication. Meloxicam & clavamox. He's acting like his normal self just getting up and sitting down slower. Is it normal for his stomach to be a little hard after surgery? His stitches are a slight red but nothing out of the norm after all it's only he had surgery on thursday. I just have so many questions. He keeps licking his genitals. Is that normal after having a catheter taken out?
What else can I do for him? I'm picking up his prescribed foods tomorrow (tight budget) and I'm making sure he's drinking his water.
I use a shirt instead of a cone everytime I see him trying to lick his genitals. He likes it better than the cone and it stops him from doing it. He never used the litter pan that much to begin with but I havent seen him try to go today as far as I know. I was gone for a couple of hours.
He doesn't act like he's in pain. Do cats try to pee less after because it's still painful?
