Aww poor Merlin. I can't imagine having to spend the night without either of my babies! Make sure you get some snuggles in when you visit & we'll be sending prayers from CT! :)

Oh, Monique--I just now read this. I am so sorry to hear Merlin has urinary tract issues.....thankful that you are such a good mommy and noticed right away. Praying the bladder flushing will do the trick and that Merlin comes home to your loving arms where he belongs.
Please keep us updated.
Much love,
Susi and the gang

Visit him? Not ready to come home yet? It must be that I am not looking at the dates on the posts. Anyway, still praying for him.
Much love,
Susi

No not till tomorrow at the soonest. He was SUPER happy to see us. He was purring really loud and we had to get him to calm down. We changed his shirt. The vet said he is doing well. Tonight he gets his cathater out and then has to be monitored to make sure he is peeing on his own. Hopefully tomorrow he can come home.

So happy to see him. He looks pretty darn good :) I know it is was traumatic for you, you are a great Mom knowing he had to go no matter how cold or how bad the roads were. I hope he has a good night's sleep.

He doesn't look to happy wearing the cone. So happy to hear he's doing better. What a great family he has,to go through a blizzard to get him to the vet. Know you can't wait to get him back home. You need to get some rest,I know how traumatic it's been for you. Thoughts & prayers being sent to you and Merlin.

Sending I.H. prayers and Eudo kisses to brave Merlin! I am so grateful for Emergency Clinics and the people who work there! (Why is it always on a holiday, during a blizzard!, or on a weekend night when this stuff happens??!!) I don't know if it's just me, but I get all emotional when I drive by a veterinary emergency clinic late at night... (Actually, I find even an animal hospital during the day bittersweet for that matter!)

We got the morning update!
He has peed on his own all night. If this continues he can go home tonight. We can probably pick him up after work. Normally this is my day off but we closed our shop the past two days for the bad weather and so we are working today.

I am praying that Merlin will continue to pee on his own all through the day and be home tonight with you finally.
Did the vet mention whyy there was a problem to begin with? Did he have a stone causing a blockage?

He had a blockage caused by a clot of blood cells. They think he was stressed out and caused his ureter to constrict which makes thw pee to not all be excreted. We have to do stress busters with him. More playing and I am going to do some new cat furniture for thw house.
He doesnt have crystals so it is not his food. But thwy want him to start eating more wet food.

So happy to hear that he is doing better and should be home with you tonight. That picture of him in the cone made me sad :(. I will be keeping Merlin and you in my thoughts and pray that his recovery is speedy.
