My ten year old, Pasha had some of the same problem that you are having. He had a bladder stone and was peeing everywhere. He had to have surgery and they removed the stone. It was an oxalate stone which will not dissolve. Steroids are hard on these little guys so an anti-steroid was given to him for inflamation. He did not do well as he was allergic to the sutures inside the bladder. Back to surgery to remove the sutures. He walked rather hunched over because he was always in the pee position but with time he has gotten better--not good but better. Then he started losing the use of his back legs. The vets diagnosis was a slipped disc. His back is always arched just like Tobis. Plus when he walks he is straggering all over the place because his back legs are very wobbly, and he sometimes falls. It is very scary. Try this to see if Tobi's spine is in trouble. Take his pawand bend it like he is making a fist, so it on a flat surface. If he dosn't straighten his foot back up to it's normal position it is likely his spine. Pasha's back paws did not return to their normal position so the vet determined it was probably a slipped disc. They did an exray which looked fine, but only 50% of the time does this show up in an exray. Treatment for this has been muscle relaxers and acupuncture. He'sonly had one treatment has another tomarrow. He is slowly getting a little better.but still walks like he's drunk. Keep me informed, and a kiss to Tobi. |
