Expressing my cat
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:39 am
My cat had a tail injury on 06/15/10 and has no bladder function yet. After a week of having someone come to my house to help I've been expressing him with ease. When I had him on his side to do it - I was able to get pee out 3x a day - 7am, 3pm, 10pm. I found a position with him upright that I can do by myself (little bugger fights me but if I put him against the wall in bathroom & hold him there with my body I can use both hands to express bladder. I feel that this is allowing me to get him fully empty & since discovering this new position - I can no longer get any pee out in the afternoon & have found that 7am / 8pm works well for us. And I getting him empty often enough? I've heard it should be done every 6-8 but while I'm trying - I can't get anything out in the afternoon so have accepted a 2x daily schedule and he hasn't had any problems that I can see. Any thoughts/advice/opinions?
Thank you !
