He did pee during the night, and he is currently with a different vet that is equipped for emergencies. I'm pretty furious with my regular vet as I drove 45 mins to get to her this morning just for her to charge me a wellness visit and then send me to another vet that is only 10 mins from my house.
This other vet seems very experienced and after a thorough physical exam he doesn't think there is any sort of blockage...he checked his temp and Fatso doesn't have a fever, and he has localized the pain to his back. He initially offered just giving him some pain meds to see if he'll just get better after a couple days because Fatso can walk he just doesn't want to. But after seeing how much pain he is in he recommended that we do an x-ray (though I was going to ask for one anyway).
Unfortunately the vet is really busy today since his clinic also deals with emergency visits and there have been quite a few dropped off this morning so he's going to keep Fatso there for the day. He's running some blood tests and is going to shoot him up with some pain killers to make him more comfortable. If any other tests need to be done he's going to call me right away, but he's sure that if nothing shows on the x-ray and the blood results come back normal that it's just a muscle strain or something similar. So now I have to wait and wait until 430 to go pick him up and it's killing me, I'm so stressed out my stomach is killing me
I'm definetly dumping my regular vet after this, I really should have taken him in last night and I feel like crap for listening to her.
