Sick Cat

We noticed yesterday that Doo-Rail seemed to not feel well. We are up around 4 this morning as he seems to try voiding but can’t. He keeps going back to the litter, sitting on it, but nothing happens and then he talks as if he’s hurting. I take him to the emergency clinic off 459. Dr. Hughes examines and thinks the cat is not blocked unless he just became blocked and the bladder hasn’t had a chance to expand. His BG is 450 but maybe this is the peak before his usual dosage of insulin around 7. Since no urine specimen is forthcoming, we leave him for the day to wait for a urine sample.

Then we end up leaving Doo-Rail for the night because he has not yet been able to void. I consult with Dr. Stronach at North Shelby. We are doing the best we can with our light cat.
