Hi! I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my four loving cats. My household includes two senior kitties Cali 13, and Dax 11 and two younger adults Calvin 3 and Lily 2. Cali and Dax have been with me their whole lives and we recently moved in with my partner and his two cats, Calvin and Lily.
I found this site after discovering our boy Calvin peeing blood outside of the box yesterday. I called the vet and took him in this morning. The vet did both a sonogram and radio graphs and determined he had six stones in his bladder. They do not know what type yet but will after surgery. He also took a urine sample in the office to have it analyzed. Calvin is currently in surgery to remove the stones.
I am sure he has been in pain for some time and feel awful that this went undetected. It was the first time I've ever seen him go outside of the box in the two months I've lived here. My partner, who is out of the country for the summer, was 100% supportive of the vets recommendation for immediate surgery.
I have joined The Cat Site for support and information.
