Good morning-
Start with your vet and an exam and open discussion. You mentioned that you did training- that is fantastic. Be sure to continue practicing it and using it. Mental stimulation = mentally tired and that helps contribute to a satisfied dog. Food? Sit/paw. Door open (inside or outside)? Sit. Want to be pet? Down. And so forth. Also- walks. Walks or runs or both make a good, tired dog. A tired dog is a well behaved dog. I am a HUGE advocate for walking with your dog(s). It is exercise and so much more. It helps establish order and trust as well. Try to get 2 good walks in each day. If you can squeeze more in, that is great. And lastly, routine. If you give yourself time to establish a good and solid daily routine that your dog can absolutely depend on, then a lot of problems resolve. For example, if they know they get a walk at a certain time of day, then they won’t bark all day looking for the walk. (They May start to get excited around walk time, but that is good in the sense that it means they are becoming familiar with the routine). Playtime is important too. Having fun together reinforces your bond. Try to take a moment to figure out a schedule that will benefit you and your dog and work with your lifestyle. I hope this helps. Good luck!!!

It looks like that is crystals. I would advise you getting to the vet and talking to them. Until then, I would make sure he is hydrated and drinking LOTS and possibly continue expressing and hopefully more will continues to come out. Even if he starts urinating on his own, I would get a visit to the vet. Let us know how Hong’s are going.

Good morning-
The first thing that I would do is sit down with the vet and have a heart to heart about your thoughts and concerns. Hopefully you have a good relationship with them, and you are able to have an open discussion regarding whether or not surgery is the best option. I would mention your concerns (anesthesia, etc.) about quality of life and surgery risks for sure. I would also recommend having a “family” meeting with the household of applicable, regarding the pros and cons, the vets advice, and the recovery process (if you go through with surgery) or any other day to day changes that will be necessary in the near future for your pet. But again, my first step would be with my vet to weigh the options for my pet. Best of luck.

I would call your vet and see if you can schedule an appointment before the two weeks just to get your own vet up to speed and see if there are any changes in diagnosis. Err on the side of caution. I can tell you from experience- getting these things taken care of sooner rather than later and staying ahead of the game, is a LOT less expensive in the long run. Best of luck.

Laura is right- depending on the antibiotic and the dosage- I would call my vet and ask. Good luck.

Good morning-
Did anything occur within the past few hours that might have led to this? Does he go outside or strictly indoor? Do you have other pets that may have contributed to the situation? Is he up to date on vaccines? Are there any meds that he is able to get to? Do you have any type of poison out I.e. any traps, rodent poison, etc.? Does he chew wires or things that he shouldn’t? Have you seen anything out of the ordinary regarding any of this? All important questions. My gut is telling me that he got into something or something got to him. I would get to a vet ASAP with as much information surrounding the situation as you can muster. Best of luck.

Ia so glad that things are working out????????????

I’m so sorry that you are dealing with this. Any idea 1-how the plastic got there? 2- how it wasn’t noticed before as the cat was seen multiple times? I would want to know. It seems strange that it would go unnoticed…. as far as the surgery. I’m hoping that given your current situation with the vet(s) that they might be able to either direct you towards someone or some group that would be able to help with the cost, as well as off you payment installments on good faith as you are currently paying already. Perhaps your local humane society would also be able to assist you or help you find someone who can.

Good morning????
We had 2 kittens years ago when I was still in elementary school that did this. Our vet at the time said that it might be because they left their mother too soon. (These kittens we hand raised because their mom was run over down the road from our house) they would cuddle up into the crook of our neck, under our hair and try to lick behind our ears. I know it sounds gross and strange, but they were babies. The male grew out of it, the female never did- so anyone on our sofa with long hair was fair game in her eyes.

Hi-
I’m so sorry you’re having such a time trying to help this cat. Has your vet ruled out everything else as far as a diagnosis? Perhaps there is something else that is worsening her initial issue? Have you tried feeding more meals throughout the day, but smaller portions? (A little at a time)
