Hi everyone, yesterday morning Tyler started howling very loud.
Walking around with him tail down which he never does.
Back and forth in the litter box trying to pee but couldn't go and he also was howling.
I touched his belly and he howled and growled so I know something was wrong and he was in pain
I called the practice I go to and had to see another vet that was filling in for the day
Since the vet I used to see had left the practice.
When I had Tyler's blood work done in Sept I saw the owner who I know good, but he was away when I brought Tyler in yesterday
So I told the vet what was happening ,said he threw up once ,it was clear liquid ,told her about the howling and not peeing.
Feels his stomach, give me cerenia which was crazy, tells me an ultra sound would cist around 600.00 . From what I told her you would think that might think he was blocked
I left
So last night he got worse ,took him to the ER at around midnight
They were wonderful. Saw a vet told her everything she did an ultrasound ,it was like a mini machine ,said Hus bladder looked fine then looked at his penis it was purple and inflamed
Gave me 3 options keep him there for 3 days with the catheter in to unblock him about 4000.00
Or put a catheter in then and unblock him, I said OK
Did bloom work, it was all good, they hardly had to sedate him .
I saw like little pieces of sand coming out.
So I guess they were crystals
I know some of you don't like Onisor but she gave him an injection of it
Sent me home with 3 pills only
Gabapentin ,if I wanted buprenorphine she would give me that instead ,, I said no that's OK
Also gave me Prazosin
So now today he diet pee yet, in and out of litter box but not crying or howling at all
He was happy tail up , eating
I called the ER back and they said bring him in they wanted to feel his bladder
It felt soft and not that much urine in it something like that
Said if he didn't pee by tonight bring him back
Well he finally peed twice already thank god.
I was so irate about the other vet I saw and called and spoke to Dr Pla another one of the owners and told him how pissed off I was that the vet didn't even think he could be blocked by what I told her he was doing, not peeing and howling
I said why the hell did she give him a cerenia shot, I'm the dumb one that let her give it even though I knew he only threw up that once.
I asked why didn't she look at his penis
Of course he defended her and said well she offered to do an ultrasound and you said no. I said right for 600.00 . He said wrote that she knew he had pain but didn't know where it was coming from
I said to him look I think we should end this conversation now before I really say something you won't like!
I said you should give me my money back but we know that won't happen!
He said nothing and said to let him know how Tyler is doing, yeah right that might happen
Wait until the other owner gets back and I talk to him, he's in Antarctica now
He also told me you can't see crystals ,I said well I saw something
I think it's time to find another vet or just take Tyler there when Dr Beeber is there the other owner who I know good.
A question you all know I don't know much about anything lol
I started him on Tiki Cat Succulent Chicken because it's low phosphorus adding it to his FF Pate
Right now he's eating almost just the Tiki Cat
Started this around middle of Oct
Does anyone think changing the food could have caused him to get blocked?
I asked the ER vet today and she really didn't know
The only thing I read about it is that it's high protein
Poor Tyler went through hell last night and then again today because I had to take him back to the ER again, but thank God he finally peed.
I will be watching him like a hawk now
Got home at 2:30 AM last night .
Oh the bill came to 1288.00
I don't care if anyone knows but I had to file bankruptcy ,petition sent in so I don't have to pay any of the payments which is a big relief. Should be finalized by early Jan
My dear sister put it on her credit card and I'll pay her off monthly
I don't know what I would have done
Thanks for listening guys
