FINALLY!!!!! Woohoo!!!! As soon as the vet inserted the enema tube into Jelly all hell broke loose and all the poo came right out with a bit of massaging/squeezing. This was another vet at the same location and she said she's never seen anything like this...but kind of fascinating.

I was right in that there was just a tiny quarter-sized urate left in him...and that came out first. It wasn't rock hard and shouldn't have prevented him from passing the waste through. Rather, the vet thinks Jelly was so expanded with the lump that it wasn't possible for him to pass the waste squished inside the lump on his own.

The lump remains but it is definately not as big as before. The vet said it's just the result of the area having been stretched for a period of time and should eventually go back to its normal size.

The main thing, and best of all, the poor guy is now completely empty of stored/clogged feces and urates and he should be feeling a whole lot better.

Thanks to all who provided their support and shared their comments/suggestions these past few weeks! Mission is finally accomplished - what a relief!!! Woot woot!
