it is so tragic, he blocked again after being PUed and with a cathetere 3
times wider
of course this cathetere is only 2 cm long and wont reach in the bladder
so this happened before the cathetere
i'm afraid that the problem will be worse when the cathetere will be
removed and once again we will be where we started (except that now the
cat has no genital system and has been tormented as hell)
i wish we could fight the cause and not just the symptoms..


This should not have happened. Apparently, the PU wasn't performed
correctly. I think a big part of your cat's problem is a bungling,
incompetent vet. I strongly suggest you seek a second opinion - quick -
before you lose your cat to acute renal failure due the vet's gross
incompetence.

I'm sure you have veterinary teaching college in your country, contact them
for a referral to another vet and ask about their procedure for submitting
crystals for analysis. If he's still forming uroliths in a highly acidic
urine, there's a very good chance that the crystals aren't struvite - or
completely struvite.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh - I'm infuriated by the stress and trauma this
matchbook vet is putting your cat through.

Please do not hesitate in obtaining a referral and second opinion.
