I'm really confused- ive never dealt with male urine blockage and am not sure what to do. I began looking after a stray cat- obviously previously owned. He's a really sweet cat. He had a supposed UTI, and was put on an antibiotic. Weeks later, he almost died one night because he was blocked. I took him to the ER vet and they put a catheter and unblocked him. They gave me prazosin to give him and pain meds. I took him to my vet two days later. This vet can be weird sometimes and maybe shady- it's hard to tell. sometimes shes good and other times not sure. She first did an x-ray to rule out stones. Then, determined he had tiny stones or crystals, which I already thought. They kept him overnight, put a catheter, fluids, antibiotic and just forgot about the prazosin. The vet was more or less trying to sell me on a crystal removing surgery maybe. b/c im going out of town I kept him in their care for boarding. When I came to see him he didn't seem happy and looked worse. Some of the vet techs are weird or handle animals not so nicely I think. There was stuff on his collar and she said she had to 'fight' him to get food in him and laughed. The secretary was really rude to me about another cat I had taken in who the vet didnt even do a thorough check up on. She is foaming at the mouth and keeps kicking her hind leg. she foams when she licks her foot. The vet barely looked at her, tried charging me 100.00 and acted as if she was ok.
The male cat who was blocked is in their care, and im wondering if they're giving him the proper care. Why was the vet trying to sell me on surgery and she seems to have no solution for any of this. What are the procedures on how to deal with a blockage- i know its catheter and iv/fluids but im not sure if they're even doing that..
