Hi Maureen,
Sounds like Bear had a giant bladder if he had
100 mls of urine. A normal bladder will have <10 to
12 mls of urine in it. The next question is does he have
an enlarged prostate, or a prostatic cyst, or a prostatic abscess?
Can your vet palpate anything besides the giant bladder?
As for treatment: Lupron depot every 4 weeks, melatonin
(implant or daily tablets/liquid), Propecia, and an antibiotic
such as Baytril, Zeniquin, or TMPS for 6-8 weeks.
It would be a good thing to drain his bladder frequently
(2 to 3 times a week) to prevent the bladder from being
stretched so much
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
