It has had a high tail amp in the past (?suspect RTA but before owner had cat - cat rescued) and has always had a degree of faecal retention. started urinating inappropriately in the house and now struggling to empty bladder. suspect nerve damage and ?never been able to empty bladder completely?

O happy to express bladder at home but needs a lot of practice

Hope it helps! Did the cat have a tail pull injury? I was doing some locum work at a cat clinic and there were a few cats there with these who needed owners to express bladders. Hope the cat gets on okay.

FAB! Thank you.

They're coming in daily to practice but thought having something to read/watch would be a massive help too!

Thanks
