Meet Carl! 🐱

Carl came to our clinic for an emergency visit after his owners noticed he was lethargic, not eating, and struggling to urinate. On exam, his bladder was large, firm, painful, and not expressible,suggesting a urinary blockage. We performed a cystocentesis and removed 103 ml of urine to relieve pressure and discomfort.

Urinary blockages in male cats are often caused by FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease), FIC (Feline Idiopathic Cystitis), or urinary crystals/stones. Less common causes include trauma, anatomical issues, or foreign objects.

Carl was admitted for treatment and diagnostic testing. Bloodwork showed elevated kidney values and a dangerously high potassium level (7.7), a condition called hyperkalemia that can be life-threatening without prompt care. He was hospitalized and had a urinary catheter placed to relieve the blockage. We focused on bringing potassium levels down and started him on IV fluids to help correct dehydration and flush toxins from the kidneys.

Carl received medications for pain, urinary tract inflammation, possible infection, and crystal/stone management. After three days of intensive care, he improved and we were planning on sending him home, but unfortunately, he re-blocked shortly after the catheter removal.

We discussed options with his family, including repeat unblocking or PU surgery. A second unblocking was chosen, and thankfully, Carl recovered well. He was discharged with medications and a urinary-specific diet to support continued healing.

We’re wishing Carl a safe and speedy recovery! 💜🐾

Keeping pets cool in the summer heat is a must! 💧 Make sure they have access to fresh water, shaded spots to rest, and frozen treats to help them chill. Switch to wet food or add water to their kibble for an extra hydration boost. ☀️🐾

🦷 Think your pet's mouth looks fine? These 3 warning signs could mean serious dental trouble:

- Bad breath that won't go away: It's not just "pet breath," it signals bacterial infections
- Yellow or brown tartar buildup: This leads to painful gum disease and tooth loss
- Changes in eating habits: Dropping food, chewing on one side, or avoiding hard treats means dental pain

Professional dental exams can catch these problems early and prevent painful infections, tooth loss, and even heart or kidney damage from untreated dental disease.

Pico is the sweetest boy ♥

Hello Friends,

Just a couple of lines about baby PICO , so you don't wonder what's going on with him .

PICO will spend the night in Eagleson Veterinary Clinic Kanata and he will get his diagnostics done , including at least one set of X-rays . Possibly two .

If the first one shows weird objects in his gastrointestinal system ( besides the tons of worms ) , the vet will repeat the X-rays twelve hours later . Hopefully tomorrow PICO will be able to head back to his very loving foster home 💓 .

Presently our precious boy is stable and in a good mood ☺️.

Thank you to each and everyone of you who made his emergency vet visit possible ❤️ ! We are truly grateful and the fundraiser will be kept transparent as usual.

Enormous thanks to Pam and Isabel for bringing him to Kanata and waiting for over three hours with him to be seen ❤️ !

More to come 😊 .
