Hi. My Cat Has Been Straining To Pee And Either Getting None Out Or Very Little. …

Hi. My cat has been straining to pee and either getting none out or very little. Took him to ER today. Gave us meds to go home with. They said they “pre emptivly” put a catheter but weren’t charging us for it. It was a $800 bill. Our cat has perf twice since coming home but now it has been a couple hours. Idk what to do next. They quoted us 3500-5000 for his surgery to get unblocked and I cannot afford.

    Hello
    Call alll of the local vets and rescues/shelters to see if they can recommend someone. Also I have had some success with medication and cold laser therapy. An X-ray yo look for urinary stones in the bladder is also an option. The cats with urinary stones often need a prescription diet. Weight loss and encouraging water intake, or switching to a high quality canned cat food and adding water can also help
    Lastly I would like to know which vet clinic you went to by adding your story and the cost of care to the story line section available here.

    Let me know what happens
