Cupid's Setback

This morning, Cupid appeared to be much better initially.  He was sitting on his favourite chair in the kitchen and purred when I held him.   He ate a little tinned food and I felt I might be able to relax a little.

A couple of hours later, things changed.  He began to cry and he went in and out of the box repeatedly.  He was unhappy and in pain obviously, even after I gave him the painkillers.  I rang the doctor and they told me to bring him to hospital as they would be open only until noon.

When the doctor saw him, she said he appeared to be healing properly.  I mentioned that he was very dehydrated so they gave him some fluids and sent us home with more painkillers.

At home, he went to the box again and I found blood in his urine.  Again, he prowled back and forth, in and out of the two boxes I had in the kitchen for him.  He actually pissed on the floor once, but whenever he attempted to do so, I called to him and he went into the box... this has been going on for half an hour or so.  His urine now is very concentrated and stinks.  There is no blood now, but there is very urine each time he goes but he feels a need to keep trying.

I am furious and terrified.  The first diagnosis, BEFORE they neutered him, was urinary tract infection and they did find crystals in his urine.  Why hasn't this been mentioned again?  Now it's simply talk about the procedure!  I think perhaps he is trying to pass the crystals and that is why he keeps going back and forth to the boxes and why little emerges.  I am not a vet, but can any one help me?  Does it make sense???

Evening:  There is blood in his urine again.  He is agitated, insecure and in pain.  He begged to be taken back downstairs to his 'home' but I can't allow that.  He has to be kept isolated, especially now.    I have created a little 'tent' for him behind the shredder next to the cabinet that he chose for his own hiding place.  I made a temporary 'wall' with an old hoodie that he likes and placed a clean towel on the floor.  He is resting there now.  It is much better for him than the very small, low space beneath the cupboard.

I think it is the crystals that are causing the blood in his urine as well as the pain.  I pray he can pass them.  He will not drink of his own volition so I will make certain that I force bottled water down his throat every few hours.  The doctor last week told me that lots of liquids were required to pass the crystals... this before his procedure.  One becomes sidetracked so easily by the other conditions he has... post-operative wounds and pain as well as the expression of his anal glands.   I sort of forgot that the MAIN issue was the presence of crystals in his urine.
