My little Simba is going in for an X-ray on Monday as he's still not well. He seems to strain sometimes when urinating. Now sometimes sits in tray for long period (this has not been his usual behaviour). Also sometimes refuses to eat and lies uncomfortably, again sometimes lies on floor next to tray but other times hiding from me.
Yet at other times is full of fun and mischief and binkying. Since Xmas has sometimes gone off food though is currently eating well. Last uncomfortable 'episode' was Thursday morning and so I booked X-ray and if it is sludge he'll have his bladder flushed then too.
I took him to vets week and half ago and took samples of dried urine to show how much calcium. She gave him Baytril in case it's a UTI but as it made no difference I now feel resigned to him having a general anaesthetic for X-ray.
Am worried about GA and what xray will reveal. I'm just so scared of losing him and concerned that I am doing the right thing for him. He was ill with wind (I believe) and stasis last July and I really thought I was going to lose him but he pulled through. Once on the mend I noticed he had urine leakage a few times (and one day he ate a huge patch of plaster from the wall). But he got better until all this started on Xmas day.
Naturally since I rang up on Thursday and booked X-ray he hasn't had another 'episode'. He's six and a half (as far as I know). He's such a special little boy.
Does anyone know whether the X-ray sounds like the sensible next step?
Thank you.
