I have a three year old male rescue cat named Blue-at 1 year old he blocked and we found out he had crystals (struvite sp?) after having him unblocked we got him on Royal Canine SO-he hasn't had any health problems since. Eats the food, drinks plenty of water, plays a lot and is very active. The vet did add that his stress level could be an underlying issue of the crystals, and this cat is a scaredy cat! He has gotten better but still he is very nervous. So I use Feliway in the house to keep his stress levels low.
Last week I saw him licking a plastic bag, something he has never done before. Later that day he was licking a guitar case! The next day he didn't eat much. On Saturday morning he vomited some liquid it had small gobs of hair in it and I attributed this to a hair ball. He ate fine the rest of the day. Sunday he barely touched his food but drank plenty of water. Monday he ate like a champ! He hasn't been lethargic, he has been peeing good, normal behavior. This morning he wouldn't eat, he went to the litter box and pooped, then got out ran downstairs and vomited some liquid with gobs of hair in it. Then he went to another litter box and urinated?
He has never done this before, and he has only vomited maybe 4 times in the 3 years I have had him? Could it just be a hair ball or hair in his stomach? My concern is taking him to the vet (which I know everyone will tell me to do here) causes him so much stress I am afraid he might block if I take him because of the LUTD? Any ideas or has anyone had this happen?
