ok i have about 3 separate questions relating to the root of this issue, but i felt like this needs it's own question. long story short, my russian had to get bladder stones removed (non surgically) and to say the least he's sore. the vet warned that he might keep trying to push but, as theres nothing left, he could push out his intestines. I was also told to keep soaking him but when i put him in water he immediately starting pushing so i took him out of the water bc i was afraid. he even tried doing it on dry land and I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!! I don't want to have to run him to the vet with his insides falling out but I can't stop him (short of literally watching him and stopping him 24/7) I want him to heal faster with soaking but i need him to stop trying to die. is there something i can do to discourage this?? how long until i can put him in water without fear of this happening? (this is his first day of recovery)
