Welp. After a great birthday it's back to reality. I've spent a large portion of this morning cleaning up cat pee. Seems Orville is either not doing so hot, whether it be mental or physical. In the past two days or so he's peed away from the litter box 4-5 times. Vet tomorrow.
Thankfully he doesn't appear to be spotting or blocked, and there's been no blood. Thinking he might have an infection but I wanna wait and see what the vet has to say. I hate this. Going to be a very anxious couple days.
Vet visit is in a few hours. Last night was stressful. He went on the floor a couple more times, at one point while me and my wife were right there, still no blockage or blood but there was obvious discomfort. This sucks.
Just got Orville in to the vet đŸ€žđŸ€ž
So the good news is that Orville has no direct immediate issues. Bodily function and vitals are all good. No stones, no blockages, etc. The bad news is he likely has a kidney condition. Diagnosis depending on bloodwork results.
He also may be developing arthritis. Being that he's gonna be 10 this year, they said that's common. Same with kidney issues. More good news though, he's apparently lost some weight and he's no longer a chonk.
I'll update in this thread as we go along because it's likely this road keeps going for a bit. Sorry for spamming y'all's feed with this. Tweeting it kinda helps me vent it out.
