My cat had surgery for urine blockage?


He will have been dr for five days by time i pick him up monday. he got his collar of at vet 2 days after surger, liked his wound and irritated it. vet put in catheder for 2 days.. i am very worried about him. do you think this set him back, or made a more serious problem for him? he comes home on monday, any suggestions on post care.. how to keep him from removing collar?

Your vet will be a valuable source of information, for these questions. Not only is the vet the real expert, but s/he also knows your cat, at least better than anyone here could. Another good thing about asking the vet, will be that the vet can demonstrate to you how to use the e-collar, and how to do any other care that your cat will need.

You have good questions, it shows you are really thinking about this. If you are afraid that you might forget some of these questions when you talk to the vet, write them down. I do that. Sometimes I take in a really long list of questions, and feel shy about asking all of them. But we are paying for the expert knowledge of the vet, so we need to get our money's worth out of them.

You can also ask the vet. tech.s as they will know how to do all the things you would have to do for your cat - and sometimes they are easier to talk to (kind of like how nurses are sometimes easier to talk to than doctors are).

If you are not sure you can do something exactly right, ask if there are other ways to do it.

Hang in there, you are going to do just fine with your little guy. Here is wishing him a speedy recovery.
