Yes, my vet works from Sun.-Wed. and the vet hospital is also an emergency hospital so it's always open. My vet does surgeries on Mondays but she said that she's been having neck problems lately so she's stopped doing surgeries all day on Mon. so she can see some patients.
Well Alani was a very good boy and he hardly cried at all in the car. He only weighs 12.13lbs which is less than I thought he weighed. He feels so solid to me. I guess he looks so large because of all of his fluff. His bladder was very small and empty of course so my vet couldn't get a urine sample.She said she didn't think that he had crystals because she didn't feel anything gritty on his pee pee area and that his penis was pink like it should be and not purple.
She thinks he may be a bit irritated so he was given some sub-q fluids to help to flush him out and some buprenex for pain. If he's still not doing well then he needs to see her again either on Mon. or Tues. I always line my cat carriers with the puppy pee pee pads in case of accidents/car sickness etc. When I got home, Alani had peed on the pee pad and it was bloody.
I asked my vet about Metamucil and she said it would make things worse and that it's for constipation. I read online that it can be used for both but I won't try it without her approval. She told me to try to give Alani and Blaze a little canned food mixed mostly with water and that this should help. This would also help to give Alani more needed water. I sure hope this works. More positive vibes are needed. Thanks.

I talked to my vet's assistant and he said to just monitor Alani and to call him back tomorrow morning to let him know how Alani is doing. He said it sounds like he's just irritated from straining so the blood should be a one time thing. I just need to make sure he continues to eat, drink, and pee. Luckily I'm off Mon. & Tues. so I can monitor him closely and if needed I can bring him back in any time too.
