      So trying to keep him somewhat calm and not too crazy while he heals I told him I'd create some AI images of him having some virtual adventures.

      He has been to ultrasonic imaging and x-ray, and the vet could not find anything wrong with the bladder or tract. However behind the back legs it looks like something which should resemble urine stones in the urine tract outer most in the abdomen. HOWEVER there where previously discovered what believed were cysts around the prostate. The vet said they did not see any cysts on the latest examination. I still think that possibly this can be the culprint However there were stated calcification on the two rear vertebra, I don't know for sure, but maybe this can pinch the nerve that goes to and from the bladder?

      If you can have them at least do an X-ray or ultrasound. Most vet clinics beside emerg have imaging tools and less expensive than  an emergency clinic.  It will give them a clearer picture of what is going on.

      No particular experience with this, sorry! I fear that many if not most of the causes of distended abdomen are concerning. Small dogs are apparently not particularly prone to bloat which is good because bloat is outright emergency. The vet would have addressed that immediately if concerned. Other sources of excess fluid can include disease process, organ failure, tumors, Cushings, etc. - all of which require some level of diagnostic testing to confirm. More imaging and/or blood tests targeting specific hypotheses might get you closer to knowing what's going on.  All good thoughts to Fuzz (and you)!
