Also, you could get an expen and line it with wee wee pads and give him some time in there with no belly band to get air to the area. Take him out as often as possible (or to his pads if he is wee wee pad trained) to give him as many chances as possible to empty his bladder without wetting himself.
Lastly, if your parents insist he goes- see if you can find a small dog or yorkie rescue to take him in, he may have a better chance there.

Great minds......actually I went back and added more so I may have been adding while you had posted. Good part is -- the info is there for her.
I actually like your expen lined with pee pads idea better than keeping a diaper or belly bands on him. Hving a prostrate problem may make him pee with more frequency and make keeping him dry more diffcult. So changing pads in the pen might be an easier way of keeping him dry. Also an older, partially blind dog might need to be contained so as not to hurt himself.
