My cat had a UTI. Why is he straining to pee again? What to do?

Question

Hello. I have a 5 year old male cat. I know it's common, but I'm kinda concern of this situation. My cat was hospitalized a little over 2 weeks ago. He had a UTI along with stone sediment in his bladder. The vets placed a catheter for 3 days, and gave him meds. He is now being fed a perscripted food, and was on medication for 10 days as directed. 2 weeks after, he seems to have trouble peeing. He urinates a bit, but seems to bother him. Is it possible he has this again? What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 5 years and 2 months old | 11.7 lbs

Poor Zukko! Unfortunately, bladder stones can reoccur, and if he's having trouble peeing again, I would have him seen by a vet immediately. You don't want him to become blocked again, which becomes an emergency. It's best to have him evaluated now if he is showing these signs. I would take Zukko into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.
