This usually works fine, but does anyone</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: Blocked cats "dribbling" urine</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/114551?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 May 2014 23:34:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:426174a3-474c-4bfd-847c-a396e333cef5</guid><dc:creator>ChrisBVSc</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the reply. I&amp;#39;ve never been too worried about this to be honest, but a colleague saw one of my recently unblocked cases &amp;amp; seemed more concerned about the issue, which made me wonder if there&amp;#39;s anything else I should be doing!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Blocked cats "dribbling" urine</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/114548?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 May 2014 22:08:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:db94e891-8aac-4889-8305-ceb074a26bfe</guid><dc:creator>james herriot lied</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Seconded - many of these probably have a bit of stretching at the tight junctions, a bit like taking a spring just past its elastic limit (I&amp;#39;m convinced I still see the odd middle-aged bitch with self-inflicted and self-curing mild incontinence after being left too long in the house).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Time&amp;#39;s the healer: I probably wouldn&amp;#39;t use any smooth muscle modulators on these.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Blocked cats "dribbling" urine</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/114539?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 May 2014 15:24:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:0cbd8f9e-f2e9-4fa5-b615-7fcf71a15b83</guid><dc:creator>Kate Richardson</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Mild urinary incontinence following obstruction may be secondary to detrusor atony following overstretching of the bladder when obstructed? Hypovase (prazocin) is indicated for urethral muscle spasm, so may be indicated in some obstructed cases but it wouldn&amp;#39;t be indicated for this problem. If they recover spontaneously (and you have them on anti-inflammatories) then I would continue treating them as you are ie with nothing specific. Hope that helps&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
