Worried sick about Belle

[Daisymac]

I wouldnt feed him at the moment,   yes a pippet would probably be the only way of getting a sample,  sorry I should have thought of the logistics of it first,  good luck honey,  I am sure Belle will be fine and back home with you this evening,   he will have an anti shot and you will be £60 lighter !   

[Leanne]

If it were me I wouldn't feed, Belle might not eat anyway if his in pain.

I think to get a sample you'd have to pipette it up and put it in something, but I'd bet you're vets will get a sample anyway.

There are a few of us who have been though these episodes on here

No answer at the vets but I will go early.

They're due to be fed, should I not feed them yet just in case?

How would I get a urine sample? He's only passing little drips

[Daisymac]

I dont know how you would do this if he is only passing small amounts of urine,  but try and take a sample with you to the vets so they can test it.

Good luck xx

[Daisymac]

Is it cystitis (SP),   sounds like it could be.   Good luck at the vets

[clarenmax]

I would try again to see if you can be seen earlier, but if not, at least you have an appointment today which is great, and well done you for acting so quickly 

Good luck for later xx

it sounds like something is coming out but like leanne said it is a real problem if left - I'd be inclined just to turn up early, you never know they might be able to squeeze you in

[Leanne]

I'd be inclined to try again, its good there is wee coming out though

[karenjet]

I did explain but it was the receptionist and she just said they're busy. I'll try ringing again but I think they're closed from 4-5

[Leanne]

I don't want to frighten you but it sounds like he might have a blocked bladder, we had the same with Jess, it can be dangerous if left. Have you explained this when you called the vets?

[Dawn F]

my old cat bluto got blocked up a couple of times, crystals in the urethra - a course of ab's sorted him out and then a prescription diet

[karenjet]

Can't get him into the vets any earlier than 5.20 but something's really wrong. All morning he was going into the littertray, getting into position but nothing coming out, then he started getting into position in the middle of the floor but still nothing. Now he's leaving drips of pee all behind him as he's walking and doesn't seem to realise he's doing it. He feels hot and isn't interested in anything, he didn't go out to the garden with the other 3 today which isn't him at all, usually he can't wait to get out and play for a while.

I don't know if he's been drinking, it's hard to tell with 4 of them and I rarely see them drinking anyway. He adores dry food but does have wet too. Have any of you seen anything like this before?
