Cat bleeding & incontinent after urinary catheter removal, what to do?

Question

My cat recently had a urinary blockage and a catheter was inserted. But it seems the catheter had scraped the bladder and had to be removed early as he was bleeding. It's been about 3 days after removal and he is bleeding even more than usual and has urinary incontinence. The vet here is unsure of what to do and unable to advise. Please help!

Ongoing bleeding could be caused by a clotting disorder or low platelets or ongoing inflammation in the urinary bladder. Incontinence could be related to the trauma of the catheterization, administration of IV fluids, bladder inflammation, kidney failure, etc. You may want to discuss additional blood tests and bladder ultrasound with your vet.
