    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:

    ((Lisa)) I hate that you are going through this but you know her best so glad you caught what was happening. I really hope she starts to pee on her own.
    My first thought when I read that her nerves aren't telling her bladder sphincter to open is do you have a chiropractor who can work on her, or maybe even acupuncture? Not sure if that is an option for you but just throwing it out there. Hugs!

    Thanks so much..
    Shes so miserable. She cried just now when I went in, probably because she knew I was going to syringe food or a pill in her mouth.

    I had considered acupuncture at some point but wasnt sure it would help because hers is so advanced. At this moment shes in so much pain just moving.
