My cat 8 years old has urinary blockage and acute kidney failure with a crea of 6.3mg/dl last july 30. The vet performed a surgery and it was successful they also peformed another bloodtest 2 weeks after and his crea went back to normal which is 1.5 mg/dl. He has a catheter and a tube inserted the the beginning for 2 months so that the new hole will not get smaller once it's healed they also extended the catheter during that time because the urination was causing skin irritation on his feet the problem is because it's long he is stepping on it making the tube inserted to cause swelling on the healing wound inside this happened many times like 4 weeks after surgery so the healing progress slowed down then the vet decided to just removed the catheter and tube since it's already 1month and half and (the initial plan of removing it was 2 months after the surgery instead of 1 month) the hole appeared to be bigger now and we can see his urinating like a stream after. But I just notice he is urinating 5 times a day. there is no straining he is doing it in the litte box, his stool is normal, he has a big appetite, he is active, no vomiting. He also gained weight. His weight during the surgery was 2.6kg but now he weighs 3.55 kg. Is this normal to a PU surgery cat 2 months after the surgery? Is it because he is still healing since the tube slowed down the progress of healing causing swelling inside multiple times. Could also the urination because of his food? He is eating a wet food with about 78%, 80% and 85% percent moisture. 2 1/2 of 3 oz can a day. Should I be worried?
