Oh man Elizabeth, talk about jinxing ourselves! I'm glad he got some
pain meds. Poor sugar, he and you are in my prayers that the worst is
behind you.

Well...right after saying he was better -- I am just back from zipping
his fat butt to the vet's as fast as I could. I was, in fact, on the
phone with the vet asking about his pain management policy
when Antonio kept trying to urinate and couldn't...finally growled and
screamed and his back end.
I thought he was blocked. Of course, when I picked the boy up to take
him inside at the vet's - I must have put some pressure on his bladder
because I felt that unmistakable warm feeling down my sweat pants.
That pee saved me a lot of money.
The whole staff I was mad at yesterday stayed well past
closing....gave him a dexe shot, fluids...and a demerol shot - thank
goodness! When they put pressure on his bladder - they were able to
get him to go more -- and it is far less bloody than yesterday. They
say his bladder was probably low on fluids and he was feeling that
sandy grit of the crystals in there. I am just very glad to have some
pain relief for my boy. He's happy as a clam sprawled out on the
kitchen floor just watching the world go by.
