He amazes me...such a little character. With all of the things he has, that he is alive is just amazing, but to have such a personality is nothing short of amazing!

It is amazing.

BTW, your first post in this thread was completely over my head. Sammy has complex issues. Very happy to hear he is doing so well despite them. Thank you for taking such good care of the little fella.

It completely blew my mind. I just sat there dumbfounded as the neurologist was showing me the MRI results.

He is doing well not because of me really, but because of his strong will. It really is amazing that an older pup like him could be as active and well as he is. They were all surprised by him at A&M and at my vet's office.

He is a perfect example that you need to evaluate the pup...not just look at labs, x-rays and other tests.

Prayers and hugs for Sammy, happy to know he is with LJ and is receiving lots of love and great care.

Poor Sammy is having bladder issues.

Prior to going to A&M he had two surgeries to correct bilateral perineal hernias .. both failed....but the last one they did a procedure that helped to anchor the bladder since it kept slipping into the hernia. Until now he has been fine.
He had some problems voiding this morning, so I took him to my vet, and as I suspected, his bladder had slipped back into the hernia. She removed 48 cc of urine from the hernia. He has an appt. with the Soft Tissue Department at Texas A&M tomorrow at 10AM.

I just pray that they can help him. If they can operate, I know it will be a big concern because of his multiple neuro issues.
I am so sad for this little guy. He is such a love.

I already know there is no other option.

We spoke with them after his neuro diagnosis. They said that he was such a high risk that we should leave the hernia as is until/unless he had problems again. This had happened previously and the only option then was surgery. I just hate the thought of what can happen....he could die during surgery...or the surgery could fail again. I guess I will know more after I see them tomorrow. One thing about them is that they are very honest and don't do things that are not necessary.

Oh, I suppose I should add a positive thought....the surgery could be successful.

I understand. I have been there with my babies and family members. I just can not see hope, but there is hope. The surgery WILL be successful!!! Say it.. beleive it.

Not to sound stupid.. what would happen if he did not have surgery.. would he have to go into the vets daily to have bladder emptied?

I honestly don't know. I would not think it is acceptable to leave it and drain it all of the time, but I don't know that for a fact.
