I did read up on it. Thank you. He did have have blockage. The vet could not get the catheter in nearly as far as she wanted so she couldn't flush the urethra. She did empty the bladder using a syringe and needle. When she did an ultra sound it showed he had about a 1/4 inch of sediment around...
I decided to call the on call vet tonight since there hasn't been any changes. I did notice when hes standing he dribbles urine. He had me feel his urine by the penis to see if it was grainy. It was. He said there is most likely a blockage in the urinary tract. He said to call the office first...
