I hope it is not urinary retention,,That is much more urgent, I go to the ER vets if I have a boy cat that cannot pee,,

Apart from how she found out Antonio needed anal sacks expressed, how do you know if your cat needs this done? Just curious.

- When I went home to take Antonio to the vet's...he went in the laundry room - turned his back end toward me, squatted over the dust pan (something he would NEVER do)...and assumed 'the position' for a few minutes....he was telling mama something is wrong. He looked like he was trying to go potty but nothing was going on.
- We just got back from the vet's. That poor sweet boy had some very infected anal sacs. I feel bad because I didn't know sooner. They expressed them and gave him a steroid shot and an antibiotic shot. Antonio was such a trooper. He loves everybody. He's not at all afraid to ride in the car. After the vet did what must have been a very painful procedure - Antonio gave the vet head butts. He loved on the vet tech too. He's just the sweetest big ol' boy.
- He's taking Clavamox. We go back Monday for a check-up.
