Our cat died from this Friday, the 9th...:( they were able to get the blockage out, but he went into cardiac arrest a few hours after....

@Danacrumb Oh, I am so sorry to hear that! That is so sad.

our sweet 5 yo Tazzy has a block at the beginning of his bladder. Unless we pay 5000$ for a specialist our vet cant help. already in the past two weeks we have paid 3000$ and now they said he'll have to be put down. this is what happens when you dont have pet insurance. Get Some.

@femanon420 Got me £160 for my cat at the start of the month. Got screwed over by my insurances too >:( she now costs me £15 every week for urinary food :(

For a second there I thought the cat was talking at 0:24

@femanon420 it varies by area. Best to check with your local vet for a price.

I think my kitten has this, how much does the vet charge for this procedure? I need an answer ASAP please!!

I'll have to take my cat in to the vet tomorrow, he just started showing symptoms tonight but there aren't any vets open this late. T^T I hope he'll be alright, and I can afford the vet bill.

He's eating, but he's moaning and keeps sittting in a squat. I've put towels down everywhere in the room, so all I can do now is give him comfort, prayers, and safety. He's an outdoor cat but he ain't going outside until a vet say's he's better.

my cat just got put to sleep because their is no cure, it would end up in a very painful death, :( RIP Peanut Butter

My cat is at the emergenct vet clinic at the moment, straining to produce urine. Fortunately we've been told the urethra isn't blocked off but he's still straining and in pain. This video was very informative, thanks.
