Emergency Vets

[Velvet]

At the weekend we had a very poorly Henri. He was being very sick & poorly. Sunday we had an emergency dash to the vets. Poor wee man had a blockage of his urether. Vet said it was very serious:(. He had to have his bladder flushed out. He had a catheter in for 48 hrs & on a drip to get fluids in. Be was in hospital until today. Full bloodwork done & urine sent off to the Labs

Has anyone elses wee cat even had such a blockage?

Aww Velvet, healing thoughts for Henri xx

The vet thought Harris might of had a blockage when he was really poorly but thankfully he is back to normal. I do hope he is on the mend soon xx

Velvet, so sorry to hear about poor Henri. No, none of my cats have ever had any problems like that, but I can imagine it must have been very painful for the poor boy. I do hope he is on the mend now.

Wee pet got home Wednesday & seemed ok but quiet on it. He then deteriorated so much so hes back in the vets hospitalised :(

Not quite like that. I took Pete to get his nails clipped one day, and although he seemed fine at the time and afterwards, the next day (a Sunday) he stopped peeing. I took him to the vet on Monday and they sedated him and catheterised him. There was some blood in his urine but no infection, so they thought it was a stress reaction to the nail clipping. When I went to collect him, his pupils were huge from the painkillers - he looked like Puss in Boots from Shrek - and he was a bit dopey for the rest of the day. I've added extra water to his wet food since then to keep him flushed out, and he's been fine.

Henri has been given 48 hours to improve then a decision needs made. I am beyond distraught
