Oops, missed this one. Sorry! :oops: Agree that the remaining hardware is probably easier to break now; I wonder how that could happen?!! Baby had to be held waking up from her spay, so you're probably right that Pip probably should be, too. Will he only be there for the day? That's typical for dent...

My boy with the spastic bladder was hard to express because it took so much pressure to overcome the bladder's muscle tone. He squirted like a fire hose.

I wonder if a trial of gabapentin is warranted? Gabapentin (or the newer relative brand name Lyrica) is used a lot for nerve pain, and it's a bit of a sleeper, too. Perhaps he'd get double duty out of it?

What a cutie!

People probably think it's surprising that tripods can do all that, but it's good to see wonky critters getting good attention so frequently these days.

And they don't need to be. You can buy surgical gloves at certain places, probably pharmacies, vets, and special orders, but I'd think they'd be overmuch here. Maybe for inserting urinary catheters or something...

Lots of people call that "drunken sailor."

And better than a lot of other things!!

I suppose, but exam gloves aren't meant to be sterile.

Well, at least powder comes up pretty easily!

Use a glove. I would anyway, cuz I don't like gooey on me, and that kind of stuff tends to be particularly hard to get off. If the cream were put on thoroughly I wouldn't worry too much about some wiping off or smearing; it won't all come off. I'd prefer that to the hit-or-miss of hoping to smear it...

Hmm. Why not put it right on her butt? Just curious...

Years ago I had a client's daughter who was a wizard at getting her mom's diarrhea out of the carpet. I can't remember what spray she used, but she'd grind it into the carpet with a washrag and her shoes.

:whale: Hmm. If it were me, I'd try expressing him, as if he were spinal cord injured, but not everybody's willing to learn that. Is he willing to use a pee pad? My Ares never used a litter box in his life, but he was willing to use a pee pad. For him, the bigger, heavier human ones were best becaus...
