Recently we adopted
a stray cat from our neighborhood and everything was fine the first
month and then 28 hours ago he got sick and could not urinate. Both
my husband and I love this little tabby cat and are so worried about
him. So in the last 24 hours we have taken our newly adopted cat to
the emergency pet clinic.
Know that when your
cat cannot urinate, or shows signs of wanting to urinate and nothing
comes out that you need to have your cat checked asap as this is a
serious condition.
As soon as we
arrived the vet technician took us back to the exam room and she
looked him over before and talked to us about what was going on.
Husband said that our cat was in the litter box several times today
but could not urinate, drops coming out. Plus our cat was pacing and
irritable with dog and other cats.
All red flags that
somethings was wrong. The veterinarian listened to us, then read the
notes from the veterinarian that saw our cat 15 hours ago and said
that he is certain that our cat has crystals and that these crystals
are causing him discomfort and the feeling that he has to urinate all
the time.
The behavior issues
are normal for this type of infection, due to the discomfort and the
cat felling like he has to urinate and nothing coming out. Husband
explained our concerns suspecting foul play because it our
neighborhood there have been reports of other peoples cats unable to
urinate after going onto a certain block in our neighborhood.
To put our mind at
ease the emergency Vet suggested we take our cat to our veterinarian
and leave him there so they can get urine sample. So I am going to
go to bed now, 3 AM try to get some sleep before taking our new
adopted tabby cat to our veterinarian tomorrow, I will leave him in there care so they can do a
urinalysis and make sure his kidneys are working okay.
