Thank you Donna...I am going to look into Purdue.

I just got back from animal welfare. Oh my god!! The doctor there did x-rays and found nothing in Scruff's bladder or kidneys....so that was good. He tried doing a cathadur again...and he couldn't get through either. So he said there is a stone blockage in the urethra. He said he only has done the surgery on two other dogs and was not sure if he could do it again. He said he would charge me between $700 and $800 to "attempt" the surgery, but could give me no guarantee....How am I suppose to let him cut my dog open if he is not even sure he knows how to do it! I called another clinic called Lepar animal hospital and they gave me an estimate of $1218.64....still so much. I am not giving up hope, I just don't know what to do.... My heart is breaking from my Scruffers.
