(23,344 posts)Thank you for all of the support.
He got suddenly depressed and glassy-eyed. then his back legs gave out and he collapsed. I put him on the bed under the ceiling fan and laid there with him while waiting to leave for the vet appointment. He looked pretty bad, I didn't think we'd be bringing him home.
He perked up a bit by the time we got to the vet. The doc gave him a good physical. It's orthopedic rather than neurologic. She doesn't think that his bladder mass has metastasized out of the bladder. His reflexes were good.
He's been on Carprofin since diagnosed with the bladder mass, and today she also put him on Methocarbamol and Gabapentin. She thinks maybe the sudden depression was due to the heat, and the collapse may have been an acute issue like a pinched nerve that resolved.
I appreciate all you people here. Thank you.
