Besides a blockage, it could be a ruptured urinary bladder or acute kidney failure. Both of these would also cause socks to have other signs of illness (i.e. vomiting and lethargy). Other than that, the only other possibilities are severe dehydration, or an avulsion of the ureters. Again, these would be expected to cause other signs of illness. I hope that helps and all is well with Socks.
