My dog only got sick when he was 16 years with me. When he was just a puppy he had very bad skin and I took him around to doc etc. Most can't cure until I met a groomer who intro me biotin and got him on lamb based food.
My dog passed away after spending 17 years with me. No choice one, all Birth eventually reaches end point call Death. Just don't have too much suffering can liao...

Vet says it's difficult and complicated surgery . Not very sure of results and it's costly. X ray shows urine blockage causing infection.
I Called Govt Vet, they only cater for more common surgery.

Urine blockage means not terminal illness. Now only depends on how much you love your dog and your financial situation.
Thats why, I keep 20k reserve for my dog medical
Having a pet is not cheap
If you are not prepare to part that money …. dun get a dog … get a guppy

Get from few clinics telling doctors about your insomnia and accumulate until more than 350 tablets of 30mg.

Neutered? Any other issue? The surgery is definitely complicated.

Just 2 days after the ops. So long if he can eat and drink should be OK. He needs time to recuperate. He drinks a little water is because of the pain when he urine. Dogs are smart. He will avoid having to pee by drinking lesser water. Monitor his condition closely.

Yesterday,the original Vet said doesn't have the confidence to perform such complicated surgery (already paid $5500), so refer to another Vet.
Sent him there, Vet says infected bladders out of position, and other infections too that costs $4000 maybe more if any complications arise in between the 2-4 hours. Then, staying in IE 24 hours costing $1200 X 3 - 5 days.= Another $4k to $6k.
Whether fully recovered will depend on the dog himself.

Call a flying doctor or bring back to Spore for better treatment.
Vet most of time they know even after Ops also not much chance recover one will tell u depend on your dog himself smlj means not much hope but give you a false believe it can cure or prolong longer life because can earn more money one shot from Surgery.

No free medical treatment for animals, must buy medical insurance for pets rise will be very costly.
