So my 6 year old male cat recently had a blocked urinary tract. I took him into the emergency vet on 12/26 and just picked him up this morning, 12/29. They let me know that they didn’t find any signs of crystals or bacteria in his urine. They inserted a catheter on 12/26 and removed it at 1am today. The vet said he was eating and producing urine just fine. I was sent home with 4 different medications and told to watch him closely. We’ve been home for about 3 hours now and he’s been to the little box every 3-5 minutes. He has produced a very small amount of urine but nothing substantial. He is also going outside of the litter box with a drop or two of urine. He seems to be struggling to urinate again but he hasn’t had anything to drink since I picked him up so that might be the culprit. I’m just really nervous because I had to pay $2000 for his initial procedure. I can not afford to have this happen again. The vet will recheck him within 12 hours and waive the emergency vet fee of $104. Should I wait and take him in closer to the 12 hour mark just for peace of mind? I hate to see him no himself and still struggling.
