If it were me I would wait as long as possible to see if the meds shrink down the prostate (or whatever they are going to do) to enable him to urinate better. The thing is you should be able to feel if his bladder is constantly rigid or not. If it is - and he is not visibly urinating - then obviously as you know it's an emergency. As long as he is eating and drinking on his own and you see him pee every few hours - I would let it go. I probably hold on longer than others but that is what I would do. How long are you away from him on a daily basis? Is it possible to make it any more obvious when he has urinated (or do you have other fuzzies as well?) Laryssa [Posted in FML 6279]
