Hello,
In general this surgery is only done by highly specialized surgeons who are boarded in veterinary surgery. Therefore, $$$. Depending on a few factors I always recommend strict cage test for 4-8 weeks for any cat who cannot afford surgery. In almost all cases I have seen them heal and go on to live happy and healthy lives. If this is a female she needs to be spayed asap as a pelvic fracture can make the birth canal too small to be able to deliver them.
If you do find someone affordable please pass along the info to us.
This morning my cat went into each litterbox (we have three) and tried to urinate in each one. He only irinated a little bit each time, and then proceeded to clean his privates afterward. He then ate dry food, and normally wet food is served with a lot of water (I make it like soup) and he’s had no issues. I’m unsure if he possibly has a UTI, or a Urinary blockage. I’ve applied for CareCredit and ScratchPay to no avail. I’d like to get him taken care of ASAP, and need some help along with financial assistance.

My cat has a pelvic fracture and a surgery is recommended. Do you happen to know of any affordable clinics.
Any advice on how to take care of him without surgery?
I can share the radiology images if necessary.
Thank you!

My girl is a 16 years old Cheweenie (chihuahua and dachshund mix). Last month the vet found a small mass on her spleen. She has some arthritis and get’s monthly Librela injections, also have some heart issues, but they said is minor and no need of medication, just have to monitor it. Her sight is starting to fade, but overall she’s in a good shape, enjoys little slow walkies and have tremendous appetite. We have an appointment next week to discuss the option of a surgery. I’m just worried if she’s going to survive the surgery and heal. What can I expect if we don’t get the spleen removed? Should I insist to get the surgery or not? Please share some insights.










Hello,
I would be worried about this too. Please see a vet asap. If he is blocked there are economical ways to try to get through this. Ask your vet to help you. In some cases massage of the area can remove a urethral plug. Or removing urine from the bladder. Or sedation and removal of the obstruction. I have even used a long acting steroid and sedation. I also show owners how to give sq fluids at home to help flush the bladder. There are published vet papers on this.
