STRAINING TO URINATE

 

This is an especially common problem with male cats, but it can occur in both male and female dogs and cats.  Male cats may yowl or cry loudly while trying to urinate.  As the symptoms progress, they may also become lethargic and unwilling to move, seek out a hiding place, start vomiting, or become unresponsive.  If your pet is straining to urinate and seems unable to produce a normal urine stream, or if is making frequent trips to the litter box without producing more than a few drops of urine, it needs to be evaluated by a Veterinarian immediately.     

 

VOMITING WITH OR WITHOUT DIARRHEA

 

There are numerous causes for vomiting and/or diarrhea that range from serious to minor.  It is impossible for us to determine over the phone if your pet requires an examination for this immediately or if you can wait to see your Veterinarian during regular business hours.  If your pet is vomiting, remove all food and water.  Do not give any food, water or medications by mouth unless instructed by your Veterinarian.  It is best to bring your pet in for an examination as pets can dehydrate quickly.
