Hi everyone, have got my boy home - albeit with a shaved tum. He's had an ultra sound and bloods and he prostate is very enlarged. Although his can happen for other reasons our vet is pretty confident that in Jerry's case it is been caused my an abscess. He is on some strong antibiotics and two different types of pain killers. I have got to phone the vet tomorrow morning and let her know whether he is opening his bowels normally with the help of the pain killers (he is holding it at the mo because its so painful) if not he will have to take some laxitives aswell. Either way he is going back on Monday for her to examin him again. She will assess how well the antibiotics are working. If there is no improvement he will have an operation to take cells from the prostate so she can tell exactly the infection she is trying to treat. Once she is confident that he is well and we have seen the abscess off he will be taken in for castration. Not something that is going to get better over night, but I do feel a bit better that we know whats going on now.
