Simba blocked again by 1:30 this morning. I worked with him to the best of my ability to no avail, not one drop of urine. We were at the clinic when they opened and when the vet came in he knew immediately why we were there, as did the techs. Simba had his bladder emptied and flushed. A lot of gunk came out yet again, bits that were too big to pass without help. At this point I'm not sure how to help Simba. He is still in good spirits when he can urinate, but visiting the vet so frequently is taking a toll on both of us in more than one way. If we knew exactly why he keeps blocking we might be able to figure out a way to help im but there are several issues and the exact one so far hasn't been pinned down. We've found struvite crystals so he is taking Vit C to help break them down, he is adrenal and is on lupron (since his deslorelin implant wore off), he has a cystic prostate and is on lupron and finasteride and baytril, he has an unknown lump in the area behind his bladder.... I know Simba isn't ready to leave our realm but we are running out of options.... I truly don't want to end his life prematurely, it is tearing me apart.... I've scheduled an appt for Saturday morning to try and decide what to do for him. I don't know how much longer I can keep up with this financially, emotionally and physically. I am fortunate my bosses are allowing me the flex time to take off work as needed to take Simba to his vet repeatedly but this can't go on for much longer. I'm feeling lost here... What am I missing???? Please send healing thoughts, prayers, energies to Simba to heal from this horrible ordeal. tle [Posted in FML 7597]
