What a horrible night! Kitty is so feverish he is confused. He would jump from his perch onto my bed and PEE! then...lay in it! didnt care. He is so warm, but he wont let me near him to take his temp. He jumped back and forth, peeing in both spots till about 2am. I put liners and towels and chucks under all. it STINKS! then about 3am, he started sqautting with no output. he is just straining,so he may be reblocked. Im so tired! I cant have a cat peeing all over my bed at night, and I cant isloate him because his cries in the bathroom. Im too exhausted to make good choices, but I am calling the vet in a few mins when they open and demanding to go in this morn.

The situation has to be fixed or answers given. I love love love this kitty, but this is unacceptable that the moment the door is open he jets to my bed and then as he goes to sit, leans into a squat!

I stink! he stinks! my room stinks! the other cat is freaking out. I am hoping its a fever thing. if not...I have some tough choices to make.

Poor kitty!

Poor Dej!

Your kitty is obviously not well enough to be home right now and there's nothing else you could do that you haven't already done. He really should be back at the hospital until that stone is blasted, passed or surgically evacuated. I can't see that he'll get better until that stone is gone.

I have a 9:30 appointment to take him back. The stone was removed on Tuesday morn with the original surgery. They left a catheter in place to be sure he had free flowing urine, and his kidneys were working. They removed the cath yesterday, and he used the litterbox once while there, and they let him go home. We are thinking he maybe confused from the high fever.

If not, and this has turned into a behavior and or emotional damage I cant have this poor baby peeing in piles everywhere, and then laying down in it! He is urine soaked, and so is my bedroom.

The vet said there was some grit when he removed the stone, and that may cause him to reblock. I dont know which to be more worried about, the high fever or the lack of pee! I gave him a good dose of kitty morphiene, so he isnt in pain, but he isnt in his right mind either. He is out of it, and off. I am crushed to think he is still this ill. I guess I had allowed myself to think he was around that corner.

Sorry Dej, I obviously misread as I thought the stone was still there. It's possible the fever may have disturbed him mentally, you only have to look at the elderly when they're febrile to see that it's a possibility. I daresay you've already considered medications ... especially as you mentioned narcotic analgesia.

It's good that you have an early appointment. I hope you come home with some answers this time.
Good luck to both you and kitty.

I did consider the meds, as he was zonked when he came home. I was due to give him pain meds at 9:30 last night but with held them as he was so snowed that I didnt dare add to it. I gave him some about 1am, once I felt he had come around from the other stuff they gave him, and was conscious enough to handle it.I also waited last night for him to display some signs of pain before just zonking him. Then I only gave him a half dose, as he was still so out of it. This morn at 8 I gave him a full dose, as I am about to put him in a carrier (which he hates) and drag him into the city.

I am guessing, and guessing and guessing about what to do. I have had about 30 mins sleep total, and I am freaked out thinking that this may end up being as good as it gets. If his fever goes down, and he is still this mentally confused, disoriented, and peeing in every corner only to lay in, then...I have some tough choice to make. I am sure they will keep him at least for observation today.

Im so scared. I dont want to lose my kitty, but he cant go on like this. its an awful corner to be in.

The vet took one look at him, and took him into the back. They are keeping him for at least the day. His temp was 106.4 and he was inappropriate with his responses, and demeanor. They dont know if its because of the fever, the infection, or the stress. Either way I have a sick kitty on my hands.

They are unsure about why to say or what is causing this dramatic turn. They will run blood work, urine work and give him fluids. I asked them to change him off of the opitates in case its an opiate reaction. For a cat to lay soaked in his own urine, and not seem to care, esp Jack was heart breaking. He is an extremely clean kitty, and under normal circumstances would be cleaning an already clean body.

I am up to my arm pits in laundry. I dragged my mattress outside and will have to find a remedy for that. Sunshine normally does well with some fabreeze. towels, and towels and towel soaked in urine.

TY for all the support. I will let you know when the vet calls.

Praying for your kitty, Dej. It's so stressful when one of our furry kids are sick. They can't tell us what's wrong......

Please keep us updated.

Awwwwwww, 'm so sorry. Poor little baby and poor you. I do hope that Kitty rallies back, soon.

I'm so sorry last night was so rough. Imvho discharging a patient with a temperature that was not brought under control would make me very unhappy. If they aren't more on the ball today I'd consider transferring him.

Have they mentioned the operation that can be done for cats that continue
to block? Unfortunately repeated caths can irritate the urethrea and cause problems also.

Can you call your former vet at the all cat hosptial for a consult?

Sending hugs and good vibes.

They are keeping him overnight. He is dribbling, and refusing to use the litter box. His temp is still high,and they feel that his appearance isnt close to what his normal is. He isnt considered "blocked" since he is dribbling. That means fluid is able to pass. His bladder also isnt rock hard and unable to pass any liquid like upon his original admit. They are telling me that dribble after the type of proceedures he went thru are normal, and she is working to get the bladder spams under control. He is no longer happy to allow anyone into his cage, but once out of his cage, he is happy to comply.

I will go visit at 5. Im so tired. The house is once again scrubby clean. I have several nice hidden spots for him full of fluffy towels and an under layment of plastic. I put plastic on my bed to protect the mattress. I also have the bathroom all set up for easy removal should I need to simply pick him up in the middle of the night and plunk him someplace safe and cleanable.

Ty for all the good thoughts and well wishes.
