We have an almost 3 yr old neutered male cat that we rescued from a shelter 2 years Ago. We found out quickly that he had a bit of an attitude problem, and tends to get pissy and snippy easily, but other than that, he's been a pretty good cat. Hes an indoor/outdoor cat so he goes out during the day (as he pleases) and comes in at night.
Over the last month, we've noticed him doing a lot of licking around his genitals. Didnt think much of it, til it started to become obsessive and he started to vocalizelike he was in pain. Off to the vet we went.
Turns out he had a partial urinary obstruction, so they catheterized him, pumped him full of fluids, and meds and kept him overnight. He endes up ripping out the catheter, but since he is peeing little bits on his own, they sent him home with special food and meds, and said thr crystals will pass on their own and to call them if he stops peeing altogether.
Almost a week later now, he's still only going small bits here and there, and now he's started peeing in random places all over the house. He actually just sprayed right in front of us and vocalized while doing so.
I have no idea what to do anymore. We had to shell out 650 bucks on monday at the vet that we dont have..and it seems like the problem isn't getting aany Better. Dh is laid off right now, and we have a toddler and a newborn to take care of. We just cant afford the continuing issues the cat seems to be having...nor can I deal with a cat who is peeing all over my house. I feel like an awful cat mom right now. I'm not the type of person to just give up my animals, but wtf. I just cant handle it.
we've been back to vet once already and all they did was give him fluids and steroids and send us on our way. It doesnt seem to be helping the problem ans we cabt afford to keep taking him back to the vet.
Abyone dealt with this type of issue before? How did you fix it?
