My mom was visiting all week from east coast and Saturday Carly ate great, wake up Sunday...nothing. didnt eat Sunday or monday, took her to vet Tuesday. I thought she was constipated but vet couldnt feel anything, but mentioned her bladder was very full. I realize late late night that shes not peeing.. take her in Weds, got her bladder expressed, xrays showed hard dry poop but not blocking or anything but they gave her an enema also, and still huge bladder despite peeing a lake on the exam table. She hasnt been eating or drinking on her own and went back to get bladder expressed today also.
She has had major arthritis in her legs/spine and muscle wasting neuropathy for a while, and vet thinks the nerves telling the bladders sphincter to open arent working so she had the urge to pee but couldnt. Well now she isnt even getting the urge and still not urinating. She got some cerenia today and lots of subqs and is at least trying to drink.
I am giving her the weekend but she doesnt seem herself and a few of the 5 Ps are not there. :cry:
