So making the decision to try and save them can be hard. Especially knowing you may be spending that much with poor results. Roadside got blocked after they pulled his 1st catheter and I am fairly certain he re-blocked (perhaps partially) the day after he came home too. I thought the 3rd time was the end, but he passed two clots at home when I was sitting next to him. I am very lucky that my vet is also my friend.

After the 4th time we brought him in, it was decided he should have surgery to enlarge the urethea. That didn't go well. After he came home, he began running to the box again. There was no online help then so TW tearfully decided, he must be in kidney failure and he was helped over the bridge at six years old. Now she would have prolly figured it was just a UTI and had him treated.Cathy Keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237575721246947408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-90152518644237611592018-10-11T02:37:36.654-05:002018-10-11T02:37:36.654-05:00Sorry you guys have to go through this.Sorry you guys have to go through this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256775594661136629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-32481540682538888662018-10-10T22:12:32.367-05:002018-10-10T22:12:32.367-05:00Poor Roadside.

I never wanted another male cat as mine have always ended up with surgery and a huge bill for being blocked, but of course, I got Bert, and yes, just a couple years after I got him, I was at the ER vet with a blockage, and emergency surgery. It is awful, and so expensive as well. I hope little roadside can get through it.
