Hello
I’m so sorry to hear about your kitty. These cases and this condition sometimes go like this. As much as we try to do everything to avoid them they do happen. Urethral tears and complications from unblocking happen because the area is so sensitive and the tissue so thin and fragile and the force and effort so intense to try to unblock. There is no way around these misfortunate unhappy endings with some of these. It’s why so many cases don’t even get to the point of unblocking. We have to explain that things like this can happen and lots of cats reblock and the cost can escalate quickly and still a cat may not survive.

I hope that you take great comfort in trying. It sounds like you really did do all that you could have.
I refer to this as part of the grief process. I have been in your shoes many many times. Heartbroken, emotionally devastated and still without my best companion. Time will help and you just have to believe you did the best you could.

Thank you for sharing your story. I would like to add it to our storyline section. And build a data base for others to share.

If interested please email me at Krista@pawbly.com.

Hello,
I’m not quite sure of what you are describing. There isn’t enough information to assess this? For example I have no idea what a puffy butt refers to? Is it possible to follow up with your vet for an exam and explain to them in person? I’m not sure if there is a problem here or not but I do know that diabetes is one of the most difficult conditions to manage and it requires a lot of help from the vet staff to manage well.

Best of luck.

Hello

I wouldn’t worry. I’ve never seen a problem with this and I am surrounded by it and my dogs are too.

Hello,
In cases like this it is imperative to figure out who this is happening. No amount of removing the feces is helpful if you cannot resolve why it is occurring. Fluids, warm water enemas and even manual extraction are all options (you cannot suction it out as it is too hard to do so). Diet change and exercise are the best places to start if (big IF) this is resolvable. If your cat has an underlying problem that has to be addressed. Call and ask for help from every rescue and shelter and put out a social media plea for help.

Hello

At rhis age I am most concerned about infection and cancer. I think it is best for a full blood work and X-ray as the place to start. I think a polyp is very unlikely in your cats case. I hope this helps.

Hello
I don’t think being too young is a reason to not look for one. I know many rescues and shelters who spay and neuter this young.

Hello,

I recommend that you call every local rescue and shelter to see if you can find someone who is willing to help you. There are many vets who will try and do this affordably. I am in northern Maryland. If you find someone close to you please share their information with us so we can pass it along to others.

Is this a question?
Do you provide him a reason and opportunity to leave?

Hello
This is a question for the vet who prescribed them.

Hello,
I’m so sorry to hear about your cat. I would call every rescue and shelter and see if anyone can help. At minimum I would see if anyone will help you with fluid therapy (even if it is sq), an antibiotic, appetite stimulant and syringe feeding. In essence you have to provide round the clock care for her to see if she can survive this. Even with all of the money in the world it sounds like she is in very serious poor condition and her prognosis is not good.
Put out a social media plea and keep calling and asking for help. Don’t delay and very best of luck.
