So my cat had a vet appointment on friday due to an injured ear, but friday morning i also noticed he was going to his litter box and not doing his business which i thought strange. So when we went to the vet i also mentioned this. The vet now has him on three different medications PLUS a Special wet food diet to help hydrate him, and told me to watch him for straining when urinating, crying when urinating, excessive licking of his penis, and or vomiting and not eating. None of those things have been a problem but im still really paranoid because if this small bladder infection gets worse it could become kidney stones which is very expensive for me and painful for him. I have not seen him urinate at all today but i hear cats only pee 1 to 3 times a day…… but i don’t know how to make sure he is even able to urinate. I also heard there is a certain way that a person could push on a cats bladder to make it pee. My question is how do you do that i cant find the answer anywhere online. I just really want to make sure he is able to. He seems much more playful and happy compared to friday or thursday. I just don’t know what do you yahooers think?

Today I have been having what I would call bladder pains. They occur right around my pubic line and last only a few seconds. They aren’t making me keel over or anything. They are mainly irritating, kind of like a short spasm, like a mild short, stabbing pain. I will get one and a few hours later I get another. At one point, I had about four in a row. Last night, I had a pain on my right lower back. Could I be passing a stone? I have had an attack like this before with a bladder infection but had buring while urinating , and urgency to go. This time I haven’t had any other symptoms but started to drink cranberry juice and lots of water as a precaution. I will wait a day or so before I decide to go to the doc because otherwise I feel great. What do you think it could be?

Teeco is a 4 year old fat cat, he has had a problem all day trying to urinate. He is very upset and hiding in a corner. He spent about an hour in the catbox trying to go pee, and only a few drops came out. He is eating. Is there an Over the Counter cure? Kidney Stones?
He is a really neat cat, and I hate to see him suffer.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I had all the symptoms of a kidney stone including the excruciating pain and it felt like something was moving out "down there" but the pain all stopped (after 2 hours and lots of morphine) before I ever urinated. This was a first time for me so I’m a little confused. Thanks.

Is there anything particularly dangerous about a kidney stone? I think I’ve got one, and I can’t go to the doctor until tuesday. Will I be okay until then? Also, how is it treated?
well, if you must know, it hurts terribly when i urinate, i can feel a bump with my hands that seems to be in the urethra, and sometimes when i try to urinate, little to none comes out, although i feel like i am urinating. yeah.
however, there is no vomiting, fever, or significant abdominal pain, so i am skeptical. i was just asking this question because some people suggested that a kidney stone might be the problem on another question i asked.
