If there is no improvement and Fitz is still having these symptoms, I would recommend having the veterinarian take xrays of the bladder to see if there are any abnormalities such as a bladder stone. If the pain is not under control, I would recommend a different pain medication such as Methadone, which works quite well at relieving pain. If he is not improving and is worse, I would get him seen by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
