Why is my cat peeing often after catheterization for crystals?

Question

Hi, my cat came home last night from the vet he has crystals and was catheterized and given antibiotics, he was ok most of the day but now he is going back and forth to the litter box constantly, he is peeing some though, could he just be sore from the catheter?

It's very likely he is sore and uncomfortable due to the catheterisation, this can carry on for a few days. it's very important that he gets pain killers and anti inflamatories as well as antibiotics. he can get blocked again, it's pretty common too, you need to monitor him very closely to make sure he is urinating and improving, if he isn't you need to take him back to the vet.
