If this was a one time incident and there are no other symptoms to speak of (i.e. straining to urinate, increased urination or drinking), then I would continue to just monitor Shadow. However, if you are seeing other symptoms, then its best to have him checked to ensure there are no urinary issues such as urinary stones, a UTI, or urinary bladder masses. I hope that things work out well for your pet Shadow moving forward. Best wishes and take care!
