I had let him out yesterday all day and nothing passed.

Update- finally starting to sit in litter tray and show signs of wanting to go (48hrs since last wee) took him in to work, completly blocked up, put under GA and all muscles relaxed and bladder expressed. So its muscle spasming and stubborness making him not go. He is recovering now so yet to see what happens once he needs to wee again.

will be starting on dantrium and continuing on hypovase then. obviously no idea what came first, the not eating or the not weeing. But we shall see.

Could you try letting him out to see if he'll wee outside?

Thats a good thought....of course i dont know how to help that.....would that not make him urinate elsewhere? i guess it depends how his brain works..i'd love to read his mind just once!

Maybe getting his leg through his collar has frightened him especially if it happened in or near the litter tray?? It would make him feel like being restrained + may have made him tray phobic in case it happened again?

Litter hasnt been changed, he has 4 trays in the house, all with different types. He normally goes outside, but if raining, or shut in will happily go in a tray. I cant think about anything that has changed which might stress him, but if anything he looks as though he is purposfully ignoring the trays.

You've not changed his litter recently? As this might affect his use of tray. Also any stress factors surrounding tray, i.e. neighbouring cats with tray near door or window? Does he normally use the tray regularly or is he one for generally going outside?

Vet said we would try dantrium this evening after giving hypovase time to work. Hopefully that will kick him into gear.

may have got confused with my anuria term, he is producing urine, just not passing it! the curse of typing after a night duty!
