My 13 year old male cat has a tumor on his pancreas that my vet thinks is benign. He's started to go to the litterbox and not produce urine off and on over the weekend so I thought he had a UTI. Now he is straining to poop and not going as well.
It's the weekend and everywhere near me is closed. There is one emergency vet in the area that I'm very likely not able to afford after thousands of dollars in vet bills since August. Is there another reason he would be going to the litterbox and not producing pee or poop other than a UTI?
He's not really showing signs of a struggle, he just attempts to go and seems confused that he's not. He isn't vocalizing and he's still eating, drinking, and playing.
I'm not sure if this could be related to his tumor or not, if it could be pushing on something that is giving him mixed signals about needing to use the bathroom?
His last pee was 5 hours ago, his last poop 13. He tried to pee and poop again 2 hours ago and wasn't successful. Thank you for any help!
