Hello,
I applaud your dedication and devotion and on your cat. I’m sorry it has been such a long and arduous road.
I’m sorry but I also think these cases need lots of time to resolve. They are usually complicated and multifactorial. So expecting or hoping for a quick resolution is often not feasible.
I do think that it is hard to manage a budget and a complicated case. I don’t know if anyone has done xrays or an ultrasound but these are also still on the list of possible places to look for your answer. If you are running right on funds than lean harder on pain medication and anxiety medication.
I like long term gabapentin and fluoxetine. I also offer lots of options in the litter and litter box department. I like a big, shallow uncovered box with potting soil, or play sand. Don’t remove what you have just add something like this and see which box they choose to use. Also add anything that you can to help keep him relaxed and calm.
I also like feliway and lots and lots of toys.
I hope this helps. Please let us know how things are going.
Good luck
Krista.
Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about your kitty and this situation.
I would post on social media looking for advice and affordable options. Call all of the shelters and rescues and ask your vet for help.
Next ask to be unblocked via the most affordable option they will give you. Ask to decline all diagnostics and ask to be allowed to go home with the urinary catheter in place. Or ask if your vet will permit your cat to be hospitalized at their facility for a few days. I have written a lot about trying to afford this. Please go to my blog at kmdvm.blogspot.com and search for UO or blocked cat.
There are also Facebook groups on this. See if anyone there can offer help.
Please let me know if you find someone to help.
