No its not dry food, Its Royal Canin but its wet and slightly salty to make him pass urine quicker and drink more (not that I've seen him drink yet), the vet was sure it wasn't stones but they didn't xray he has the mass was formed of blood.

That was a really interesting link, I think I'm going to have to go with what our vet suggests for now, I've also spoken to my work vet who has assured me that its for the best for now.

Poor chap having nasty food. Is it dry by any chance?

See interesting thread: http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,11904.0.html

If he keeps having problems id request an xray as they can have stones without crystals showing in a urine sample.

Sorry I've not been on for further updates,

I had a long chat with the vet when I collected Jess, he was great and went though EVERYTHING with me as I had a long list of questions, I managed to get Jess home okay in a taxi but he was getting stressed, we had an awful driver. When I got him home though he started weeing very soon literally going from one tray to the other, after a bit this settled down, Milo was keen to play but Jess wasn't at all.

Around 2 hours later Hubby came home and just started the weeing business again going from the downstairs tray to the upstaris tray and using his bed inbetween, so I called the vets and they said to pop him back (which in itself is not easy as we don't drive and the vet hospital is in the next town) but we did, they checked him over and gave him a Dexadreson or Dexafort (I can't remember which) injection and we've got to give him Nisamox for the next week.

Since that his been much better and weeing little and often, his not entertaining Milo at all though and keeps hissing at him, which worries me but if his feeling tender and a bit stressed then I guess we've got to expect this.

I was at home with them yesterday but I'm back at work today, hopefully they will be okay (my nerves are shot to pieces though)

Jess is on special food for the long term his slowly eating it but he isn't a fan of it really

Leanne · « **Reply #36 on:** March 11, 2008, 09:32:50 AM »

I went to visit last night and Jess still hadn't wee'd, initally I was really concerned because he wasn't himself at all, he didn't get up and was just lolling around, I spoke to the VN who said its perfectly normal (even though he had jumped us to see us the day before) because he had been in alot of pain and only just had his buster collar removed, after a while he did manage to get up and come over to me, and he promptly wet himself twice, there was blood but they said it was normal.

I was with him half an hour and as I was leaving the litter tray was put back in the kennel and he used it - YAY I was so proud,

Anyway I've just had a call from the vets and he can come home this afternoon

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have my boy back,

Happy Birthday and hope it gets happier still with Jess having a good wee at the vet's. I know they can keep their legs crossed for quite a while, but he will go at some point - just hope it's sooooon.

It was funny to be honest, Hubby was like what are you doing,

Leanne · « **Reply #25 on:** March 10, 2008, 13:15:18 PM »

Update, Jonathan, Jess’s vet just called, Jess is fine, they are going to take the catheter out and keep the drip in to keep the fluids topped up. They are confident that he will wee this afternoon and be able to come home – I’m not as Jess is a private cat and likes to go in his own time.

IF he doesn’t wee he can’t come home, and it might mean the blockage is still there and that would mean he’ll have to be catheterised again.

Leanne · « **Reply #20 on:** March 10, 2008, 09:29:47 AM »

I should add Milo has been very clingy this weekend, and has been sharing our bed, his been stretched out under the covers and hubby and I have been balancing on the end.

This morning though Milo wouldn't eat so I had to pretend to eat it, and then he ate it

Leanne · « **Reply #19 on:** March 10, 2008, 09:28:15 AM »

Jess has had a comfortable night and manged to eat a bowl of food whilst no one was watching, (he does like his privacy)

The vet is going to call me this morning so talk about what the plan for today is

clarenmax · « **Reply #18 on:** March 10, 2008, 09:21:23 AM »

Keeping fingers and toes crossed that Jess has a wee today for you

Leanne · « **Reply #17 on:** March 10, 2008, 08:48:51 AM »

Thanks again everyone its nice to talk to people who understand

I'm about to call the vets for an update, the urine sample came back okay - well okay in that there was nothing they didn't expect to see in it given his toilet trouble, there are no crystals.

If the catheter comes out today I can't see him weeing on his own at the vets, his so particular about going to the toilet, he only wee's around twice a day as it is,

Its my birthday tomorrow and the best present would be to have my little man home

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #16 on:** March 09, 2008, 23:13:43 PM »

Sounds like Jess is doing very well thanks to your prompt action.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2008, 22:59:21 PM »

Poor jess and so pleased you caught this early

I am sure he will be as pleased as you when he comes home

bunglycat · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2008, 21:19:09 PM »

Smartie got it twice - the second time he stayed at the vets day and didn''t wee so they kept him there all night -he did a wee -and tipped the tray over ( he has a hooded one and always goes right at the very back of it !)
They let him come home then the next day , he had an injection and i got a sample and took it back -he had crystals and went onto Hills s/d , he is now on c/d and has been fine ever since .
That was about 5-6 years ago.
Very good for catching it so early - i knew the minute he went in and out the tray that night about 4 times and rang the vet immedietly , luckily it was just at the end of surgery and he ask how long it would take me to get there - i said about 15-20 mins as its 15 miles away -so he waited and saw to him for me.

Felix (Caroline) · « **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2008, 17:40:32 PM »

yes well done from me too for acting so fast, hope he makes a speedy recovery, sending lots of love and hugs to you both

The catheter is likely to come out tomorrow but he'll have to wee on his own before coming home.

When my Ben had this problem and had to stay in the vets my vet was concerned that he still hadnt wee'd on his own whilst in the surgery, but she thought he would do better at home in familiar surroundings (obviously me to keep a close eye on him to see if he did wee), and it was several hours after he came home that he did wee on his own (following him round, watching like a hawk - discreetly LOL!) - and then it was full flood! Can't tell you how relieved I felt (and him, I'm sure!!)

Hope Jess is ok.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2008, 16:11:19 PM »

Well done on catching him early, its very painful for them

my 'neighbour' left theres til he was really really ill and couldnt move
