i can only encourage you to keep trying to express your dog. for me i kept taking him out every hour or so after he was fully expressed by catheter and try to feel for his bladder. i touch my finger tips together and place them above where his penis ends and feel for his bladder. my dog's bladder is...

that's exactly the post i read that made me decide to try it

My dog, a great dane / English mastiff mix, had a bleed in his spine a couple of weeks ago and have been slowly healing. But now I'm having a hard time trying to express him. As soon as I touch and put some pressure, especially on his left side, he lays down and starts whining. He's currently on ant...
