We soaked him tonight and he dropped 4 rather large loads.
I have not seen the jelly type pee?? Since a week before christmas. Sorry for not throwing that time frame in there.
I contacted my vet and am waiting to hear back.

: Get it to a vet ASAP. That thick jelly urine is a distinct sign of hexamita or urinary infection. If you act at all, Flagyl will take care of this. If not, he will develop a secondary infection due to renal failure. You can't hurt him with a proper dosage of flagyl. He will die if the protozoa is present and goes untreated.
