Please help!!

Over Labor Day weekend we had to hospitalize our 1year old cat for a bladder blockage. We didn’t have the funds for the procedure and we didn’t want our cat to die. He’s really my son’s cat who is 7 and would just be heartbroken.
He got his bladder flushed, came home 3 days later. We had to open a line of credit on carecredit that is now maxed out. Finished all his medications and seemed fine until today.
He isn’t peeing, seems lethargic. I tried manually expressing him but to no avail. Nothing but some drops of blood come out.
I’m crying as I’m writing this because we can’t afford another costly procedure and this is can obviously be fatal.

    Hello,
    I’m so sorry to hear about your cat. I know how costly and devastating this can be for pet parents. I think it’s time to call everyone you can think of to see if anyone will either help you out financially or help you out to see if he is blocked again. I think he needs to be seen by a vet immediately as he can die if he is blocked. We all dread these cases. I have had so many over my career. When I get them the first time I always warn that they often have repeat episodes for months until we can get the diet changed and the urinary system happy. I won’t euthanize a blocked cat but I am the exception these days in vet med I fear. I recommend you see a vet immediately add call everyone you can asking for assistance. There isn’t anything else I can offer. I’m sorry.

    Hello- I am so sorry. The only other advice I can offer is to plead with your vet to help you in any possible way … paying a little at a time, paying as soon as you can, anything.
