Hi Caity,
It's easy to express the bladder. Put him in warm water , just to make it easier and press gently his abdomen. If he is not able to urinate himself, you have to express his bladder at least 5 times a day.
Read the message posted here about how to express:

About the paralysis, it's difficult to say there are diffent reasons and only the vet with X Ray and blood work can identify.
Hope I've helped !
Good Luck!!!
greetings from Brazil, Paty, Pikku and Raja

I also left a message with our regular vet on his answering machine at home. One way or another it looks like Avon needs his bladder expressed and I need to learn how to do it.
