I was just wondering if anyone had an experience with a mucus plug in their male cats. I had to take my baby boy Gotham into the vet today as I sat and watched him try to go pee for close to a half an hour I knew something was wrong so I took him to an emergency vet.
They took him back and looked at him and then came and told us that he might have a blockage and we have 2 options that he could either stay overnight for a few days with him being catheterized which would cost some where between 2 thousand to 4 thousand.
Or they could cath him and flush out his bladder and send him home which would have been about 900 to 1100. Well I love my Gotham a whole lot but paying that kind of money would take all my rent money and most of my roommate rent money.
So they sent us to a low cost vet that they work with. So we go there and they took a look at him and they though it might have been just a bladder infection but when they tried to cath him to see if they could just flush him out real quick they ran into a mucus plug. So now Gotham has to stay there til monday to see if he gets better.
This vet is only charging us 560 for all the stuff that needs to be done. Sorry for the long post.
So I just want to know if any of you knows what might have caused the mucus plug? and what can I do from now on so he wont get another one?
