We contacted our vet today about Kodo and his problem with urinating. The
vet wants him there at 8am tomorrow to be admitted and examined and if the
bladder seems full, he'll be doing emergency surgery. If it's not full,
he'll be having it done on Wednesday, but will remain with the vet
overnight Tuesday for observation.
I'm so glad I contacted the FHL to help me determine what to do
here. Thank you so much again!
