Late night liasons.

Its midnight and somethings stirring, Muddy. We have managed to grab 2 whole hours sleep but now Muddy wants to go in the garden. Pulling Muddys boots on and he is more agitated than usual. Boots on and into the garden we go, one long pee later and Muddy is growling. Growling at himself his own rear end.
Half an hour of wondering round the garden and Muddys is clearly distressed and no longer passing any urine so i make him come in. I have a good look over can find nothing i wasn't expecting although i am aware he hasn't passed anything but urine since Early yesterday morning.
Now indoors and Muddy is shaking again and stretching allot, he frankly looks very ill and in some pain.
Phone vet. he says hes constipated duo to the discomfort in his bladder and to bring him in in the morning.
We try to settle. I decide not to put him back in the Kitchen where he normally sleeps but to sleep with me in the living room. (I have been sleeping in the living room since Muddy became ill. there is a child gate between the living room and kitchen so i can both see and hear how he is while we are both supposed to be sleeping.) He is shaking allot and cuddles into me, we stay like this for hours.
