oh my.. vet quick.. if he can't urinate then there's big problems of some
sort.. don't think it's something you can treat at home at all..
I've lost two to something similiar.. one was tumours in the abdomen that
broke loose and filled the abdomen with blood.. the other was a rescue with
advanced adrenal and it was his prostate that blocked his urethra off..
Good luck and I pray it's nothing serious..
