Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 14 lbs
My cat Felix had a urethra blockage from crystals and a bladder infection. The vet catheterized him on Monday and took the catheter out today and sent him with Baytril. He was not sent with anti-inflammatory or pain medication. Is that okay? I don’t want him to develop another blockage from urethra spasms.

Poor Felix, treatment of urinary obstruction will vary based on the doctor that is treating the patient. Is it possible that Felix maybe received pain mediation while he was in the hospital? Also some doctors do use steroids to decrease inflammation and he might of receive that in the hospital as well. IT is never wrong to contact your vet to specifically ask him about having pain medication at home incase Felix is acting painful. I hope that helps
