Sylvester Is In The Hospital

[chris_stibrany]

That's not good at all, mate.

At least 2 of our cats have died from urinary/kidney problems.

He may not have been getting enough water and has serious kidney issues.

I would get that checked out perhaps.
Or find a way to get him to ingest more liquids.

Sylvester and Enoch drink more water than the Huskies, and Huskies don't eat a lot of food but they consume serious amounts of water.

My cats are free eaters. They get one can a day, and are free to eat their dry food at will. They had been getting the Rachel Ray salmon and rice, which they love, but I had started giving them the freeze dried salmon cubes from Costco as a treat. I think that was what did it. Too much fish. My vet said he was putting him on a special urinary tract diet. So I am preparing for having to give up one of my standard treats, to allow it to fit my budget. I know whatever food I am going to have to switch him to, will not be cheap.

My vet is awesome and he is also a very close friend, so I know that he is in good hands. He got treatment before it was a complete blockage, so he has that on his side too. So all I can do now is wait, and pray.

your not a liar, folks love their animals, their family and you will do anything you can do and or afford for them. there's been a time or two that i had to let a couple go cause i couldn't afford the treatment they recommended, and then couldn't say if they make it or not. it a tough thing to do. i also have one i sometimes wish i would have let go the crying little shit. he's was roamer, would go out in the mornings and stay gone for a day or two. one morning i found him in the back yard gut shot and vet said he may or not make it. spent all my mad money i had rat holed. now he's a house and tether cat, and he whines 16 hours out of 24 every day inside or out. when in he whines to get out after the yard cats,  when he's out he whines cause they won't won't have anything to do with him. male or females. both try every now and then, they nuzzle with him and he nuzzles back for a minute or so then he either turns into horn cat or big bad yellow tom. then that's it for a day or so. then they try again and the stupid cat does the same again.

He sounds like my Enoch. He is so damn loud. He is demanding and he thinks he is the Alpha of the pack. He is just damn lucky that Maxx is so damn lazy that he is pleased when his son Goliath or Enoch play Alpha. Maxx just looks at them and seems to laugh.

Sylvester is the quiet one but he loves to play, and his favorite play mates are Maxx and Tamar. He will play with Bellah and Goliath, but they lose interest too fast for him.

Darn. Just got called out. Weekend is starting early.

I have a feeling he will be okay then
