Soulwatcher Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I have a very sad story about my cat named Frankey. His bladder stopped up and he was howling because he was in so much pain. I took him to the vet and he had crystals so bad that the vet said he would need to be turned into a female and there was no guarantee that it would work. So I ended up having to put him down. I cried over him for a long time. He was my little buddy. How about you? Have you ever had your cat let you know that it needed to go to the vet?

Elseb Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I haven't had that but i have had a cat that pretty much made us aware that she was dying and she was ready to go. She went to a quiet place and after a bit of attention, she passed away. It was really sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulwatcher Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Awwwww........ that's so sad, I am sorry for your loss. How old was she? Also, it's really good that she was able to feel your love before she passed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Sorry to hear that, but what did the vet mean by turn him into a female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is conducted on a male cat suffering from persistent urinary problems — and is technically called a "perineal urethrostomy, in other veterinary clinics, it's often referred to as a "sex change." Without getting too graphic, the operation involves the removal of a tom's cathood, a shortening of the urethra, and the creation of a new opening that is similar to a female cat's.

Sounds like that might be too much for the cat to endure 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would have done it for sure if he would have been ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
