Tuesday morning I took my cat to lort smith cause...

Tuesday morning I took my cat to lort smith cause monday night he was showing signs of being blocked,i called monday night and they said watch him bring him in the morning if still issue, upon arival at opening i was greated with smart comments by the smarky receptionist i bit my tongue and booked him in to be looked at they saw him gave him an injection and a bag of medicine said to watch him at home cause they cant feel his bladder properly & feel he doesnt look blocked but he may be and if he doesnt pee by end of day bring him back

Took him home he pee'd with alot of struggle once

Took him back next morning they said vet will put a catheter in and drain him cause hes blocked then vet changed her mind and said they will hold him there to sedate him and try squeeze him

Got a call an hour after we got home saying they need us to go back cause they cant handle him and need help. So my partner took the tram back when she got there they said dont worry we got him sedated and checked him we will see how he goes and give an update,few hours later ...oh so we will put a catheter in him and drain him over night should be fine by the morning..

Next day they said as an update hes doing great being hand fed he was drained we will take the catheter out and you can take him home. I picked him up at 6 he was in his cage SUPER stressed eyes dialted so wide no sedative no dose of medicine they said to take him home hes fine gave me another bag of medicine to bring home nd give him a hills diet food.

Got home at 6pm.. he didnt eat was mega stressy double his size and full of urine still we called em and asked if it was normal what we should do they said to watch him nd give him his meds if need be bring him back next day.. alll night from 6pm til 6am next day he was back and forward to the toilet struggling no pee not eating/drinking i gave him one of his muscle relaxers at midnight he slept 2 hours then woke up did the same , stayed all night on the couch with him he slept a bit longer with me , we both woke up at 6am I was drenched in his pee but he was still not eating nd very stressed and couldnt pee

Partner and my parents took him back next morning they were all sympathetic nd said no charge for this visit (which they charged medicine and didnt process our pay plan prior nd almost tried to double charge) they put him in a room with my partner said to watch him and theyl be back when they got back gave him a sedative that would ease the pain and help him eventually pee hopefully nd calm him and that the tests the other day said his urine tract all this time since the first time he had issues last year had super large crystals & were undetected in prior tests cause they were so large, so he will need Cd food to help but for now just give him checken and "cat crack treats" to get meds in he will be ok if not consider later on in life an operation or euthansia

Took him home he was relaxed & out if it from the pain killers still no pee but he was in pain and just leaking urine everywhere
So we took him to malvern emergency vet instead told em everything looked at him once felt his bladder with ease and said his bladder is double the size it should be he's mega blocked and his kidneys are risking almost failure if he waits longer.. they said they could drain him nd send him back to lort smith next day to fix him as option 1 I strongly declined him going back there.

Option 2 Needle in blader to drain him
But both options would be temp last option we could do an op to basically switch his urinary gland into a females and fix the issue for good

So we did the operation they fixed him by 330am & hes now back home recovering fine ..peeing easy and eating and the blockages should not happen anymore we just need to monitor his stress and weight nd he should be fine long term. They even helped reduce the bill to not add to my now useless lort smith debt.

Thanks for taking my money lort smith I will never trust your vets again you almost killed my cat.
