Positive healing vibes for Pip please

I am upset and anxious - just back from the vet and I've had to leave Pip as an in patient. He may have a urinary blockage or a spasm and has to be catheterised to find out what's going on.

I got a bit worried last night just before bed as I saw him licking and then late this morning he started slinking about and scuttling, looking for somewhere to "go". There was no evidence of his having done a wee in his litter tray, but he had left several small stools. Having had a cat before with urinary problems, I decided not to leave it any longer and phoned the vet. He is so young for this sort of problem, not yet 2 years old.

They were going to sedate and try to catheterise him more or less straight away and I am to phone the vet at 5.45 this evening to see if they've discovered what the problem is. Please send loads of your good strong positive healing vibes for my wee boy.

Oh Angie, so so sorry! Positive vibes coming. If it's any help, my Siamese boy had a blockage at a quite young age .. 3 or 4 as I recall; rushed him to the vet, overnight stay and HE NEVER HAD IT AGAIN!!

So sorry to hear this Angie. What a horrible thing to happen.

Healing vibes on their way for little Pip. Hope that it is quickly and easily sorted out.

Update: Just phoned the vet. Pip is fine. The catheter went in easily (so no blockage there). Urine has been checked and no crystals found. They therefore think he might have had some spasm and are treating that "conservatively". He will have the catheter in place for 24 hours to continually drain his bladder and he is recovering from his anaesthetic. I will phone again tomorrow after 10.00 to find out how my little boy is doing.

The house seems very strange without him. Kizzy is wandering about, she knows something is missing.

so pleased to hear that he seems to be alright now, and hope that he's fine when you phone up tomorrow.

It must be strange without him being about the place.

*hugs*
