I Know this is a bit after the event, Im from england and I have pet insurance, I know how awful it would be if my dog got ill, but I know no matter what I wont have to worry about vet bills as he is covered. I do hope your dog gets better.

Well, we are home. Scruff is doing great. The vet said he seems to have passed it. Which means.....NO SURGERY!! YIPPY!! He did not do a cathader on Scruff. He said the vets yesterday attempted it twice and sometimes bacteria can be inserted with the cathader. He did not want to irrated Scruff urethra anymore. I have to get a urine sample from Scruff and bring it to the vet's office in the morning. They want to check to see if he as a URI. The vet also said that it could've been a URI all along and he was swollen, that would cause him not to beable to urinate properly. The vet saw a small spot on the x-rays that I brought with me at the bottom of the bladder. He said that could've been the stone, but he can't be 100% sure because it was so small, but that could've been the blockage and what Scruff may have passed. I was told just to keep a good eye on Scruff for the next few weeks and make sure he is urinating properly. I was also told not to change his diet. He is on Innova and the vet would like him to stay on that. I liked the vet and so did Scruff, so we are keeping Lepar as Scruff's new vet. I made an appointment for Scruff's shots that are due in Febuary. Thank god everything is okay....it really was a much needed miracle!!

Thank you everybody for all your help and support! Oh, Help-A-Pet also called me after I left the vet. I told them what happened and they said if it comes back or anything else happens I can reapply. Angels are on my side today. Thank you again everybody, you guys are great!

Great news about Scruff. Maybe when he's feeling 100%, you can
post more pictures of your boy. He's a cutie.

I did. The vet said that as long as he is urinating there is no need for surgery. We just have to monitor him. I have to give them a urine sample too, as I posted in post #30. I really do hope all is okay.
