I agree, the expressing requires finesse. We learned from our vet, who guided us while our Yorkie, Peach, was paralyzed in the hind legs. You need to feel for the bladder, then provide firm (not hard) pressure, and wait. The urine will shoot out at once (not dribble). In between times, we used disposable bed pads under her to catch any dribble. Glad to hear things are going better.
