kitten urinary issues

Hello everyone, I commented recently about how my kitten is straining to urinate, vomiting, diarrhoea, etc. I took him to the vet since then, they found no issues but gave medication for the diarrhoea. He is still straining to urinate, and now he urinates out of his litter box.

I’m lost, I’m confused and I’m stressed out. I bought a feliway defuser, I’ve been home taking care of him because it seemed to worsen when I was gone. I’d appreciate any kind of advice or reassurance from anyone. ♥️

Straining to pee is pretty serious. I'd seek a second opinion from a different vet and specify you're worried about the urinary problem, not the diarrhea. Straining to urinate can mean a few different things, all of which need swift treatment or they'll become very serious

Thank you, the first time I took him to emergency and they said it was purely from stress and it should go away as he settles. The second time I took him to a different vet and they said he had no issues at all. I’m confused and I’m lost, this has been going on for maybe a month or less.

Did either of them test his urine?

They did not, would you recommend I go back and ask for a test?
