[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 360842, member: 3444"] Well, I got a call from the surgeon at 7:30 this evening as I was heading out. He changed his schedule to accomodate Harley TODAY, and he was calling to tell me everything went fine and he (the cat) was resting comfortably. There was a LOT of debris (protein, crystals, mucous) in the urethra contributing to the blockage. They performed a PU (perineal urethrotomy) so he will now pee from a new location which gives him a shorter path and larger opening. I was happy to hear they were able to do the procedure without opening him up. That should make for a shorter recovery. And hopefully he will never have to deal with this problem again, although they mentioned he'd probably go on a special diet... I'll have to find out for how long... I guess this was a pretty serious situation. I read more online about it: [URL]http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/fusfaqs.html[/URL] Thanks everyone for the good thoughts and prayers... My kids are tremendously relieved. I am happy about the outcome, but it is unfortunately tainted by the hefty credit card bill we now have. I s'pose it's still cheaper than years of therapy for potentially traumatized kids? :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
