Urinary Blockage Signs & Mysteries

[Syrth]

My real vet came back from vacation.

She suggested that we do 2 ecograph tests on Rapheal. It might not give us a cure but it will eliminate many possibilities on the list. She will also be contacting a vet forum about Rapheal's condition to see if anyone else is having this type of cat health issues as well as contact them about wellness catfood to see if any other cats that has Rapheal's condition has shown improvements.

I love it when I have a vet with a very open mind!!

Any update on Raphael?

[Syrth]

We did a ecograph on Rapheal and found out he has major bladder inflammation. I asked if it was possible that the food was causing this and my vet said it wasn't but I had a hard time believing her since nothing else could of been causing the problem.

Against her suggestion, I switched him to wellness canned food, no-grain and within two days he showed major improvements, I even took him off his medication and he is almost back to normal, he doesnt strain to pee, he does a decent amount and now at the vet-techs tell me his bladder is no longer full when he goes for his injections (adequan to help heal his bladder lining)

Now my only issue is he still leaks a bit and he is losing weight slowly but steadily (hes already a tiny cat thanks to all these issues) So I'm feeding him more and we'll see if it was only a quantity issue or more tests are needed.
