Hi, I am new to this forum. Buddy was hit by a car 3 weeks ago and was fine except his tail was broken at the base. Vet said we needed to amputate it because it would cause bacterial problems with going to bathroom. We have him at home, he was on the bladder contraction medication - it didn't seem to help, and has not been on the phenoxybenzamine for one week. He has to be expressed at least twice a day, my husband does this, I just can't squeeze hard enough or in the right place. He still can't pee, he tries and tries to poop, but usually it comes out after he has given up. He leaves stool in his chair that he is sleeping in, or it falls out as he is walking. We have to keep him locked up in a spare room that is covered in a plastic tarp and newspapers. This is so frustrating - he is such a big part of our family. I just got off the phone with the vet and he had contacted a referral service - they say we need to give it at least 6 weeks to see if there is any improvement. Have you had any success?????
