Emergency Vet now or Wait until Tomorrow for Regular Vet?
Noticed my neutered 12 year old male cat straining in the litter box a few minutes ago. He would come in and out and try to lick around his genitals and then go back. I noticed that his penis was sticking out while he was grooming. After a while I saw there was a hard piece of feces sticking out of his anus. I helped remove this, but he went back to straining. He then threw up but seemed to feel a bit better after that.
He still got up when I shook the treat container, but his belly is still tender and he growls when I touch his lower abdomen or try to pick him up.
He has had cystitis before but we switched him to a medicated food and he hasn’t had issues since. I’m trying to figure out if he’s constipated or if his UT is blocked or semi blocked. I started noticing this right after I changed the litter so I have no idea when he peed last or had a normal poop.
Picture of him napping on my phone last week for cuteness.
