Cat Chat Feline Forum

I thought I would start a new thread to see if anyone had any experience of this drug, Bilbo my 4 year old has had a bladder blockage story http://www.catchat.org/felineforum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5628 and today was taken back in less than 24 hours after coming home with spasm of the wrethra whic...

Thanks Ruth B I have both dry and wet food and he has eaten both I mixed some water in the wet food and sprinkled the yureliefe the vet recommended . They rang earlier he has been anaesthetised and his bladder washed out again there was no blood or crystals visible to the eye this time and she think...

Well I didn't even make a couple of hours I got there and was in such a state I came straight back home. Rang the vets and took him straight down there, thankfully they have a small branch surgery at the bottom of my road so literally 5 minutes away, the vet examined him and said his bladder was ver...

I think I am going to be going back to vets with bilbo. He came home last night was eating drinking and weeing ok only little wees but they added up to an ok amount. Got up this morning and he had weed overnight ate his breakfast with the supplement the vet gave me had his metcam for cats went to th...

Well we got home and he does look a sorry mess, he is long haired so they have had to clip his fur all round his back end and his gorgeous duster of a tail is now more like a rats tail with just a bit of fur left, but that will grow back. I have the prescription diet food and gave him some of the dr...

Bilbo is coming home. I have to go and pick him up at 3 so finished work at lunchtime his bloods are fine but he has still only eaten a little bit that is my biggest fear that he won't eat the special diet, he is quite picky and knows what he likes in the way of food. Milo stopped eating and althoug...

Just had a call from the vet, Bilbo is weeing well and his bladder filling well but his bloods are still a bit high so they are keeping him on the drip for at least another 24 hours, she said he seems much calmer but hasn't eaten which is worrying because he does like his food hopefully as he starts...

The vet rang me earlier, I think she gets that I am a neurotic mess at the moment ! Bilbo has wee'd over night he is still on the drip and once surgery is over she will repeat his blood tests to see if his kidney function has returned to normal if not it will be another 24 hours on the drip and see ...

I'm so sorry it's heartbreaking when we lose our fur babies they wriggle their way into our hearts and give us such unconditional love xxx

Vet just rang, they had problems getting the catheter in but managed it eventuallyand were in the process of washing out his bladder after removing the obstruction. He had a lot of crystals in there which had caused the obstruction I feel awful for not knowing there was something wrong but he's been...

Not the news I wanted this morning I'm afraid. Bilbo was sick in the night and when we got to the vets at 11 she felt his bladder and it was rock hard so he has to stay in to have a catheter and possibly a drip overnight if his kidneys have been affected. I had to ring my daughter so now she is upse...

Well here's we are New Year's Eve again, last year I spent it with my boy Milo away at the vets and me waiting for the morning to see if I could bring him home which I did but only for one more day before I had to make the worst decision I have ever had to make. So here I am 12 months on worrying my...

Having had to make the awful decision to let my beautiful boy Milo go on Saturday I find having his food in the house really upsetting do rescue centres take open bags of dried food ? I have a full bag of prescription food for the diabetic cat and an almost full back of Royal Canine over 7 indoor ca...

image.jpg I think I am going to get a picture of him put into a frame for the mantelpiece. This is one from a couple of months ago but I am sure there is a better one on my computer It may sound odd but my sister came with me to the vets on that last visit and I asked her to take a last picture of ...

Thank you my head tells me it was the right thing to do but my heart hurts so much I feel so bad maybe because had I noticed earlier whilst he was still eating we might have been able to save him for a little bit longer but then my sensible side tells me that no matter when he was diagnosed he still...

I lost my beloved little boy yesterday after just a week of him being poorly he was diagnosed as diabetic and I just thought we would get him stabilised and he would be OK for a bit longer he was only 10 and such a huge part of my life. Sadly he just refused to eat for a week and being in the hospit...
