Blocked- He Won't Eat, Help Please!!

He is still peeing on his own, just enough. So far so good, keep getting stronger! I want him home, yet that thought terrifies me. I will be so paranoid.

At this moment my brain function just isn't working. This needs it's own thread. I am grateful we have a place I can bring a thread from a different site, I just can't go through the whole thing again. Just shoot me, please.

I'll be there in the morning. That will be part of the discussion.
Thank you all for caring and offering so much support, it means a lot!

Sky came home today!



I've seen him pee several times, smallish clumps but definitely enough to count.

Aw, hes so cute, hows he doing?

He most likely will recover faster at home, less stress:)

Try putting a little hot water in it to bring the smells out, let it cool to warm then offer, this usually works:)

Our animals sure know how to rock our world. and when they refuse to eat , boy i just wanna scream.
i make boiled chicken livers for them when they are sick. and i grind them in the magic bullet and make sure there is plenty of broth for it not to be dry. try that. perhaps the prednisone is causing him not to be hungry?? i know when hubby was on it  for a while he just did not feel like eating.
i think as long as he is getting his liquids and is urinating than he just needs time.  and do not give fish. i wonder if you have well water or city water and if well water might be the culprit causing the crystals. ??

I think you eill have to paste some up and syringe it in if hes being that difficult, after a couple of days of force feeding he may start eating on his own, I had a cat in the kennels that refused to eat or drink and I had to syringe feed it, I managed to get it eating and drinking on its own after 4 days, it was not pleasant for me I hardly slept the whole time it stayed with me and I did tell them it would be best if they got someone to watch it at home next time!

May be worth trying a raw diet as in a bought one, Tailblazers here has some real good stuff, it has a picture of a blue dog and red cat I think on the packs, they come in small packs and different flavours like kangaroo, bison etc, if you can jump start him it might get him eating the stuff he should be, cats are picky though, Im so sorry you are having this problem, I know how stressful it is:(

Sky is at the clinic, hooked up to an IV. I had pinched his skin and knew he was dehydrated. I ha seen him drink and pee, but the drinking just wasn't enough.
He had reblocked there, after being there over a week. Could it still be my water? I really want to make changes if that could be an issue. I have a well, and a water softener and osmosses  (sp) water purifier. Any time I fill a water bowl it is from the purifier, no not upstairs. Okay, that gets changed.
The blood tests reveled a very high white blood cell count, there is infection somewhere. Vet said maybe from having been catheterized multiple times.
I have been stressing for them to get nutrients into him. I know there is more going on, but how can he heal with any food in him?
Does anyone know if IV fluids are more than just water? Any nutrients?
It hurt so bad to see him laying there with a tube running from his leg. He never looked up, so depressed. I'm really getting scared.

I for sure would not use well water, I dont, I use water from our water bottle dispenser or the city water I get delivered for the kennel, I doubt thats your problem but why take a chance?

He will get better once hes hydrated, cats are just way more difficult to treat than dogs as they hide everything so well, its so frustrating, the vet should have a special can food for recovering cats, I know 2 of mine that would eat nothing ate that stuff with gusto, it stinks but is high in everything they need for a fast recovery
