Why is my cat in pain after urinating? Vets found no cause.

Poor Felix, treatment of urinary obstruction will vary based on the doctor that is treating the patient. Is it possible that Felix maybe received pain mediation while he was in the hospital? Also some doctors do use steroids to decrease inflammation and he might of receive that in the hospital as well. IT is never wrong to contact your vet to specifically ask him about having pain medication at home incase Felix is acting painful. I hope that helps

Poor Kitty Kins. It sounds like he has either lower urinary tract disease, stones or has a partial urinary blockage. None of these conditions improve on their own, but instead require some level of treatment or management. So the treatment they gave him so far is basically they drained his bladder and treated him for an underlying urinary tract infection. However if he is developing a blockage he will need to be catheterized and treated with medications to help keep his urinary sphincter relaxed. You are doing the right thing by feeding him canned food, as this will increase his water intake and help promote a healthy bladder. However if he does become completely blocked (blocked Tom), he will need emergency procedures to free up the blockage and empty his bladder, as they mentioned already. I totally understand not being able to do the procedure the first time around due to cost. Unfortunately this cost is pretty standard for these types of things. Here is more information on urinary blockages in neutered male cats so that you can know what to look out for. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1111 And here are some financial resources that may be able to assist you in the near future: carecredit.com redrover.org If he stops peeing at any moment, then he needs to go back to the vet for emergency procedures to unblock him and provide him immediate relieve. Being blocked for a period of just 6-12 hrs can prove detrimental to your pet. I hope you get things sorted out soon. Take care.

It is best to have him checked over to make sure that he is able to pass urine, or this could turn in a life threatening condition. I would not give him any pain relief, because it could cause a worsening in his kidneys function if he is unable to pass urine. Hope this helps and that Ninja gets better soon.

I am sorry to hear about your kitty. Unfortunately there must have been an issue with the photos you tried to upload as we cannot see them. Your vet may have given your kitty medication to decrease pain or inflammation in the bladder. If he does not have an infection, he may suffer from cystitis or inflammation of the bladder which can sometimes be related to stress. You can read more about this at https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951488 and https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951508 . Your vet wants to collect a urine sample to check for things like bacteria, crystals which may indicate infection or stones in bladder, red and white blood cells which may indicate inflammation, and to check the urine concentration which helps us to assess the kidney function.

This unfortunately is very concerning and is quite possibly a medical emergency situation for your pet Nacho. Nacho cannot be helped st home because it is possible he may have a urinary blockage and in need or a urinary catheter to provide him relief. Urinary tract infections are 1) not common in male cats and 2) Dont cause a lot of vocalization in the cat, therefore I suspect a urinary blockage is the actual culprit. I am hopeful that you can find someone to help you with Nacho so that you can take him in for life saving procedures. Poor guy. : ( Here are some financial assistance websites also that may be able to help as well: Carecredit.com Redrover.org Please take him in right away. Even if cost is a concern. At least you can get him seen and then go from there with the financial aspect of it. Best of luck!

Poor guy. I too would be concerned about possible cancer. The next step would be to get an abdominal ultrasound to look for other possible causes such as cancer. Cats can also just get cystitis, which caused inflammation of the bladder due to stress. This is typically treated with a prescription urinary food and often-times anti-anxiety medication. We suspect this when we see microscopic blood on the urinalysis, along with straining and frequent trips to the litterbox. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951488 I hope that your fur baby feels better soon! Best wishes and take care!

I would be worried that your cat is actually starting to experience the signs of a urinary blockage, and needs to have a urinary catheter placed in order to allow him to urinate normally until the inflammation and swelling associated with the urethra goes down. Please return to the vet where you took him; urinary blockage is life-threatening and medications alone frequently do not correct the problem.
