Thanks for the info...but everything is fine here. My Edgar already blocked 5 months
ago and recovered fine from it. I just had a feeling a couple days ago his was having
issues again, even though he wasn't straining to urinate or anything. He was and
still is urinating just fine. He does have a bladder infection though and so I have him
on antibiotics (Baytril) along with his Lupron and melatonin. I also started him on
propecia again to reduce any prostate issues that may be causing the bladder
infection. I just want to find out if it is his prostate that is causing this baldder
infection, or if its related to something else. Thanks again though for the warning.
