Miss Kitty's mom : It is great that you are doing so well with expressing Miss Kitty's bladder. We knew you could do it. With time it will become second nature. I could express in my sleep!! Zula's mom you really have to be commended for caring so much about Zula. Like Miss Kitty's mom suggested you...

Hi, how is buddy boy doing? Have you taken him to see the urologist yet?
Have you been working on his Chip In?
Please give us an update!! Jean

Thank you for responding several of us have been worried about Buddy. Good for you for deciding to keep your doggy friend and care for him. It won't be easy but the satisfaction you will receive will more than pay for all your hard work. Please keep us updated and please let us be a resource to you....

So, the specialist said that his urethra is too small for him to be adequately expressed right? So, what is his suggestion? Was he a neurologist?

Carol what you said makes sense. If urine is dripping from his penis then it may all have to do with learning to adequately express. Buddy's mom did the vet work with you on expressing his bladder? It does take a while to master expressing but you can learn it with a little practice. When Caleb my p...

I don't know what I would do without Care Credit. That is how I can afford all these guys. Please try to get Buddy in ASAP. That urine backing up into his kidneys can so quickly lead to infection and acute renal failure. With you being in CA you likely are close to specialty clinics. Kansas has so f...

So, would the penis need surgery so that you could insert a catheter ? But, if he had surgery so that a catheter could be inserted then why not just express him. Any use of a catheter introduces infection. A permanently placed catheter seems like a continual source of infection. Louie was on daily a...

What did the UA show when you took her to the Vet today? Nerve regeneration is so unpredictable. I have a dachie that I was fostering for a local rescue group. He was given a very high chance of recover even though his DPS was difficult to elicit at the time of surgery. (Actually I think they gave t...

With a male cat who blocks continuously don't they do some type of surgery where they essentially make the cat into a female so it is less likely to develop a blocked bladder? Could they do the same with this little doggy? I agree about the catheter being a continual source of infection. My Pug Loui...

That is great news. Him being home is about the best medicine he could receive. It does sound like he is improving. He just needs some time.

I had a foster Pug named Louie. He was such a sweet doggy. He had been thrown from a car. Afterwards he had a slight limp. Then, it progressed to him being a paraplegic. By the time he came to me he was a quadriplegic. There is so form of paralysis that can become progressive if they do not have sur...

What bladder meds do you have him on? All of my paralyzed pets are on bladder meds. Of my 3 cats with Manx syndrome one is on bladder meds as well. I express mine 3x a day. I express them and then wait about 10 minutes and then express them again when the bladder reforms. IMO most infections are the...

He is adorable!!! Look at those blue, blue eyes?
Did he find a home Christine?

Oh, you made my day. I'm so glad for you and your baby. Your determination has made the difference. It is great to work with someone who doesn't give up. Pat yourself on the back !!!!

Is she on meds to make her easier to express? You could try decreasing them and see if she leaks less. Every one of my paralyzed guys takes half the dose recommended by the vet. I have dropped them to one time a day and have less washing to do and save a fortune on meds. I don't know if paralysis ha...
