Morning all......It's bleedin' cold out there.....5c
One of our cats (Sydney) wasn't very well Monday. He usually sleeps in the bedroom at night but Sunday evening he stayed out in the catio all night and was a bit subdued Monday morning.
Came back from work Monday afternoon and he was much the same but come the evening he was crying out in pain. Typically this was after out Veterinary practice was closed so we had to drive him to the out of hours Vets in Colchester.
After examination he was found to have a full bladder and something blocking his ability to pee.
He was admitted for the night so they could catheterise him and find the cause.
Turns out he had crystals in his dangly bit blocking his urethra.

He is doing much better now after them being removed and fingers crossed will be able to come home later today.
Total cost of this so far ...............£2000 (ish)
