My Bunky was in the vets for 8 days this time. He would block every other day:-( He's home, and very doped up now. He's on the antibiotics still and they also added Diazepam to his prescriptions.
I'm nervous because the vet wants to do surgery in the next week or two to cut his bladder open and clean out what might be a stone. I don't understand because all along he has been getting blocked by crystals. Won't cutting open the bladder, stone or crystal, be a useless move? Won't crystals still be created and block once his bladder is healed? I don't want my poor Bunky keep getting blocked but I don't want a useless surgery on my poor kitty.
She didn't want to put him on a dissolution diet this time since he hates the taste and refused to eat. We are trying to give him only moist food. We just bought Purina Pro for Urinary health and also the Hill's Science diet. We also have the water fountain. Our Bunky has been in the vets at least 3 weeks worth over the last 3 months. We are trying everything we can, moist food, water fountain.
Any other advise? Especially on the surgery- that just scares me. Some advise would be great, Thanks!
