    Hi,

    I have a male cat. He's about 7 years old. Woke up this morning and he isn't himself. He's passing large amounts of blood in his urine and looks very unsettled so I'm thinking he has a urinary tract infection. I've heard these can be serious so I want to get it checked out asap.

    Does anyone know of any vets open in Limerick City today?

    All vets in Ireland will provide some sort of 24 hour care for emergencies every day of the year.
    Its part of being a vet and is as far as im aware a requirement for all practice's to operate.
    Some may be juggling small and large animal calls today so time can be taken to get a call back but persist and ring again and you will get through...I spent last night treating a horse with colic and this morning a cow down with mlk fever....christmas eve is just another night,the oncall has to be done,animals dont know what day it is....
    There is no reason that you would not be seen today as a potentially blocked male cat is an emergency.

    Details of where to go or who to contact is usually given when you ring up their out of hours number .

    Hope your lad got seen and is feeling better.

    Cresent vets always have a vet on call. If you call their number the on call emergency number is on the voicemail.

    Good luck, hope your little guy is ok :)

    Thanks everyone. Rang Crescent and Hugh came in from Croom straight away. Turned out he has systitis so he put him on antibiotics and anti-inflammetries. He said it could have gotten a lot worse if we left it untreated another day or two.


    Hope everyones enjoying Christmas and thanks for your help.

    Yes, he's lovely, as is Meave in cresent vets :)
    I have a very fearful GSD and both Hugh and Meave are so gentle with her.
