I posted last week about Bella being poorly well I took her to my vet who was concerned that she was in alot of pain and had become urine incontinant, my vet could feel something in her bladder but wanted to ease the amount of pain she was in before we did anything radical but we had agreed to see how she went over the weekend with baytril and metacam and also a tablet called Diethlstilbestrol which is for urine incontinence (it is half a tab once a week). I just had to share this brill drug with you as it as worked really quick, I had to give her half a tab on friday night and by saturday night she was almost dry I just carried on putting sudacrem on to help the urine scald. I am glad to report that she is now 100% better all thanks to that little half a tablet, we are carrying on with the baytril till friday and I will give her the other half of tablet on friday but I am so glad for her.

Cheers for that info Kayj, hope Bella continues to get better :thumb:
One of mine has recently had a UTI, but still sometimes gets wet around her back end (may be EC related?). I might speak to my vet about this drug.

Thanks I'd heard of it being used for dogs but not buns, I expect I'll have to sign a disclaimer :roll:
