We wonder if we‘ll find beautiful Sam’s angel...

Sam has what’s called Neurogenic bladder dysfunction, which causes urinary bladder problems due to an old injury Sam sustained at the base of his tail. Several vets have guessed his tail sustained an “avulsion injury,” caused when the tail is pulled/stretched to the point that the base of his tail actually broke and severed nerves.

Because of this, our Sam has difficulty passing urine, and his bladder needs to be massaged to help him empty his bladder a few times a day.

He is a happy boy who deserves love in his golden years. He’s about 10 years old and has so much love to give for quite a few more years.

Complications can include chronic Urinary Tract Infections, but at this point Sam is UTI-free.
