About 5 days ago, my orange male tabby cat got a pretty nasty cut on his right front paw. after two days, i got my mom to take us to the vet (we had to wait and see if it would heal on its own; vets are expensive for my family)
he was given a convenia injection "for antibiotic therapy administered under the skin" (i am typing directly from the discharge notes the vet gave me)
i was given 60ct phyto CK antiseptic wipes to wipe the wound every morning and night, and after restroom use.
i was also given onisior tablets (3, 1 a day for 3 days), but i have not given them to him yet.
he has a follow up in 5-7 days
after we returned from the clinic (around 5 pm), he peed before i exchanged his regular clay litter for Purnia Yesterday's News (given by the vet), and peed some after i did.
now skip to today... as of 1 AM i havent seen or heard him use the bathroom once. his litterbox is located by the wall outside my room so if he did use the restroom i would hear him dig in his box. so from last night to this night he has not pooped nor urinated.
he's been eating and drinking like usual, and even ate some treats i give him every night. no vomiting either! he's been acting like his normal self.
i have noticed him sleeping a lot today, but to be honest he's quite the napper. he'll sometimes sleep through the night or sleep 2 hours and run around and sleep some more.
my question is, should i be contacting the vet because of this? i know that urinary issues can get very bad very quickly. is this because i have not started his onsior pills? should i wait and see what happens?
