Starting November 2 at 8 a.m., Portland Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Care’s 24/7 emergency room, critical care, ICU, and specialty services (except dentistry & oral surgery) will be located at our new hospital at 422 US Route 1 in Falmouth.

Our 739 Warren Avenue location in Portland will continue to offer:

🐾💙 Have you ever wondered why our staff treats urinary concerns in cats as such a high priority? Meet Douglas- a lovable 1 year old, neutered boy! 💙🐾

Although Douglas is 100% adorable and an amazing patient, we have been seeing him more than he would like! Poor Douglas has been struggling with urinary issues for a little over a week.

Douglas's wonderful family has been diligently trying to help him feel better and contacted us when he started showing signs again instead of improving. He began visiting the box more, dribbling urine, straining and there was some blood in his urine- despite being on his antibiotics. When dropped off with us for the day, he was producing small amounts of urine and acting normal, but soon after, his technician noticed a change. Douglas was very uncomfortable. A quick exam revealed what we fear when a male cat is having difficulty urinating, Douglas had a urinary blockage.

Urinary blockages in cats are caused by stones, crystals, inflammation, and/or mucus that block urine from exiting the bladder and body through the urethra. Blockages require emergency attention from your veterinarian. Due to Douglas's attentive owners, he was already at the clinic when his emergency hit! Our staff quickly took action to help treat Douglas.

Bloodwork was completed to check his kidneys and other organs. Kidney enzymes can elevate as toxins from uneliminated urine build up. An IV catheter was placed and he was prepared to be anesthetized. Once Douglas was sleeping, the team worked to place a urinary catheter. This requires skill and patience as the work area is very delicate and tiny! The doctor successfully unblocked him and within a couple of hours he was getting back to his normal, goofy self! ⭐️

After a cat is unblocked, we keep them with us for a day or two. The first 24 hours, the urinary catheter remains in place. They receive medications to keep them comfortable and often antibiotics as well. Unfortunately, they are condemned to a cone of shame. After 24 hours, the urinary catheter is removed. If the cat continues to produce urine, they can go home!

Going forward, Douglas will need to eat a special prescription diet. This will help control the environment of his urine better to help reduce the risk of stones, mucus and crystals. Unfortunately, there always remains the risk of reblocking. Some cats, like our Burt, require additional reconstructive surgery to prevent further blocking. This surgery can have serious complications and most cats continue to have urinary issues, which is why he stayed with us!

We are so grateful to have been trusted to provide care for Douglas this week and wish him the best in his recovery! ❤️❤️
