I am tangerines mom. He is a 2 year old orange kitty that just had surgery because he could urinate. The name is the surgery is perineal urethrostomy. He has two sisters that he lives with as well. 3 weeks after surgery we are still having problems.
First, he is balding, I mean the hair is coming off like crazy, the vet said that it more than likely is related to stress and the surgery, and he was in the hospital for two weeks.
2nd, his sisters are still hissing at him. They will not come by him at all. They never got along that great to begin with, but this hissing has to stop. I have sprayed the older sister a few times with water.
NOW, Tangerine will not go to the bathroom in the litter box. He goes in the bathtub, he seems to have a hard time urinating, but the vet says he just needs to get used to this new way of going. He's still not himself fully yet. Cannot jump and is not very active. Just need some advice please, I don't really want to bring him back to the vets so soon. I just hope he is just slowly healing.
