So sorry smae happend to my daughter he was 3 years old he showed he was in pain for 2 days she took him in and he was alive but they came out and told her he didnt make it I feel like they messed up did somthing wrong
Can you tell me what you would proceed with if the cath goes 2½inches and stops? The blockage is up much further than the tip and a PU doesn't seem to be a viable option at this point. This is a 5yr old tom who also has not eaten or drank for a week now, despite hospitalization. When the cath is removed he cannot urinate on his own (not a drop) and we had much trouble (almost impossible) getting the cath back in. It gave lots of trouble on both occasions. And he is spitting the metrogel out! What alternative are there to save this blocked Tom?
I'm not a veterinarian, but at the vet clinic I work at we encounter this problem quite a bit. A possiblity is that the bladder has stretched enough to where he has no control over his bladder anymore. It all depends on how big the bladder was before you emptied it.
Oh no! Today it was the size of a navel orange. I squeezed to relieve it but did not empty it. Is euthinization called for when they lose control of the bladder?💔😭😿
@@michelleparks4582 Again I am not a veterinarian and we havent had a case that far along. With the amount of pain the cat is experiencing, I'd say it's an option. Especially if he cant control the bladder...
@@gavinfleck1315 I know you're not, but you know more than I do on this! Idw make the decision to put my car down but I may have to. He cannot go without a catheter. It has to come out in about 30 hours then if he reckons, it's a PU surgery that costs thousands! Then if that doesn't work, he will have to be put down. Praying he will be ok. I'm a wreck over the possibility of losing him.
everyone please try, methigel, renal support and diazpam..saved my boys life and is fine 5 years later he is currently 12 years old and sleeping beside me as I type..
My cat died yesterday from this..there was nothing they could do..I'm so heart broken..my boy was 14 1\2

That's why we should maintain adequate hydration of our pets. Urolithiasis is a problem especially in older 🐱.
Loved this informative video and I love this channel!

To be clear, euthanasia is an absolute LAST DITCH SOLUTION (as to be expected)

Please make more videos about helping animals like this one, rather than videos promoting and romanticizing farmers harming animals!
