Well Oscar did not make it. He had a reaction to his meds which caused his liver to stop operating correctly and he had toxins released. My mom's vet kept him for 2 days trying to flush his system to see if she could get rid of the toxins, but to no avail. The vet suggeted putting him to sleep because he would have a very poor quality of life if he were ever able to leave the vet. I'm very sad, I really tried to help my little guy. I don't regret doing the surgery, I just regret that his last week of life was so miserable.

I just went through this a few weeks ago with my male cat and it cost $1,000. It looks like he is having another occurrence. Has anyone had any experience with this? I don't have another grand to spend on this and I was hoping there might be another option. What will the vet do if I take him in and he is diagnosed with a blockage but I refuse to pay for the medical bill? Will they put him to sleep or treat him and find him a home?

Ask your vet to put him on Feline S/O. Our cat is on it and has never had a reoccurance. You can get it in wet or dry.

Did you see the part she had to put her cat to sleep. He had a reaction to the meds he was put on

No, sorry. I just skimmed through the posts (won't do that again). My ferret had that "sex change" surgury too and instead of a reaction to meds, developed an infection that the vet didn't take seriously until it was too late. Makes the bad ending feel even worse knowing that you went through such extremes to help and it didn't work. I am truly sorry for the loss but atleast the cat is not in pain anymore.

I am sorry for your loss but atleast he died knowing he was loved and you did not let him suffer. A stupid co-worker of mine had a cat with the same issues and said she was not taking it to the vet again and then she had the nerve to tell me she did not know what happened to the cat because it was standing in the litter box, let out a horrible screaming noise and fell over dead. I know it hurts but you did the right thing for Oscar!
