No, didn(t change his diet. Since he is with me (6 years) Haïku eats only the same urinary care food. No exception. This special diet as he already had urinary problems when he was young, in his first year.
Have you changed his diet? They can sometimes react badly to that. Floppy went to the emergency vet with all the signs of a blockage years ago. They didn't find anything, but it cleared up when I realized I'd changed their food and this happened, and then changed back to the old food. Also, Robocat once had a VERY bad kidney infection with symptoms like that. Did they put him on antibiotics?
My mother in laws dog had this - kept bleeding in the urine. It had crystals and had to go on a special tinned food diet. Pleased to report this stopped the crystals and it eventually died of old age.
Thinking of you both.

Poor Haiku and poor you of course, too. I hope that everything will go well for your boy. Could be everything, a bladderstone in combination with a bladder infection maybe, the vets can help there very well. But of course there is the surgery and the anesthesia and the trembling uncertainty and I know how you feel. I will keep you in my thoughts . Please let us know when you have talkd to the vet.
Some two weeks ago I had to take Haïku to the vet then to the clinic for a couple of days. Blocked bladder, no stones but cristals in urine. Haïku was under medication and was going better and better. This morning he tried to pee several times with no results. Then there was blood. Some drops, but blood. I rushed him back to the clinic, where he'll undergo an operation this morning. I'm scared
Il y a peu près deux semaines, j'ai du amener Haïku chez le vétérinaire puis à la clinique quelques jours. Vessie bloquée, pas de calculs mais des cristaux.
Haiku était sous traitement et allait de mieux en mieux.
Ce matin il a recommencé à aller à sa litière sans résultat, puis il y a eu du sang. Quelques gouttes, mais du sang.
Clinique en urgence, il est opéré ce matin.
