He has a stone in his bladder and urethra. Our vets were unable to unblock him, so we are managing him with repeated cystocentesis to keep his bladder small. He needs a perineal urethrostomy and he may also need a urethrotomy to remove the urethral stone if it cannot be flushed back into the bladder. His prognosis is guarded."
