Might this not help your poor Ted?

I don't think so (though thanks for the suggestion) since I believe the catheter would be passed through the urethra, which is the channel to the bladder. The ureter is between the bladder and kidney so it would involve surgery. What the vet is looking into today is shock-wave therapy for Ted because the veterinary speciality center here was considering purchasing the equipment to offer this service for cats.
