Casey Roo.......

Still no changes for little Casey. He is still at the hospital and his fever is still elevated. He is catherized right now, trying to flush the bladder and see if they can stop the blockage. He suddenly got really lethargic and wouldnt play with Mom and then started acting like he was in pain. Turns out he couldn't pee pee and his bladder was really swollen. Apparently it is extremely painful. My mom has had him at 3 different vets in the last week, trying desperately to get this under control. The plan now is to keep him catherized until tonight and then remove it to monitor him. They will watch him for two days to see if he can urinate on his own without getting blocked again. Unfortunately, while receiving X-rays for his bladder, vets found some sort of strange mass in his caudal region near the heart. Of course, we think the worse, but are trying to focus now on the blockage. The vet suggested that we not even worry about the mass until that is under control. Whatever, it is, good or bad, it hasnt bothered him up to this point. So......I guess we will wait some more to see if he is able to pee on his own again. To top it all off, this weekend my cousin is getting married in a small town about 3 1/2 hours from here, so my poor Mom has to deal with all this when she should be able to spend a nice weekend with her family. Luckily, Casey will be at the hospital being monitored and taken well care of until we get back on Sunday. Then, we will see where to go from there, depending on how he is doing. How hard it is to deal with something like this.........keep praying! I will post again on Sunday, hopefully with some happy wedding pictures!
