Hi all, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice as to what to do with my cat, Toby.
He's almost 4yrs. old, neutered, and has never had any urinary tract issues. He eats a mixture of Chicken Soup and Eagle Pack (the chicken & rice flavor), dry in the morning, wet at night.
On Thursday (the 12th), I noticed him going in and out of his litter box, trying to pee, but only a tiny bit, if any was coming out. So he went to the vet that day, and they tried to get a urine sample, but his bladder was too empty. Vet said there was no evidence of blood, and if he was getting some urine out, that he most likely wasn't blocked. So his put him on Clavamox for a possible UTI, and also suggested I start him on Cosequin (which I had at the house already). So Thursday night he started the Clavamox/Cosequin, and I was assuming after a day or so on that, he'd be almost back to normal.
Yesterday he was still going in and out, not peeing hardly at all, and just flinging litter EVERYWHERE. Called the vet again, he said we could put him on a low dose of valium to try to relax everything. Picked that up, started it yesterday afternoon, and today he is still doing the same stuff.
I don't think he's been in and out of the box as much today, which I guess is good, but he's still not producing much pee, just enough to form dime size clumps in the litter.
So should I take him back to the vet tomorrow? He's eating, drinking, and acting pretty much normal. He just seems a little agitated.
Any suggestions would be great.
