We got to pick Smokey up on Saturday morning. They said the procedure went well, but they only give him a “better than 50/50 shot of being okay in the long run”. So, I was quite worried once I heard that. I thought he’d have better odds than that. We have to watch him quite closely to make sure he is able to go to the bathroom, and so far, he has been doing okay. He is still struggling a little bit, but I think that’s from the bladder infection so it makes him feel like he has to go when really his bladder is empty. Because he has been able to go, so that’s a good sign. He’s on two types of medication right now, antibiotics to clear the infection and some other drug to help his muscles relax so he doesn’t tense up so much when he tries to go pee.
What a scary ordeal. He’s not out of the woods yet, but the fact that he has been going pee is a good sign. We just have to wait it out and see with the antibiotics clearing the infection, whether he is able to go pee without struggle. I sure hope so! I hope he’ll be back to normal real soon.
Thanks for the link, burger. Right now, we’ve been feeding him the food the vet recommended, and they recommended he be on it for at least 2 months, but after that, we will definitely look into the food you recommended. I checked the “store locator” and there are 2 places in town that sell it. Thanks!
Nej came up on Saturday and we made all the wedding invitations. It was fun! They turned out really well!! We rock ;)

Poor little guy.
Glad the invitation making went well!
Fricking blogger... I typed a whole long post and then got an error message!
Give Smokey lots of luv from me!
Make sure you don't give him any chunky soft cat food until this whole pet food recall is sorted out.
Hope Smokey gets well soon!
I can't wait to see the invitations.
