Renal disease

Has anyone any advice about Renal Disease?

Arthur has suddenly taking to drinking the whole of his bowl of water in a day and his weeing is excessive, plus it looks clear and doesn't have that bunny smell.

He isn't even 1 yet, would it be possible that its Renal Disease and is there anything I could do for him before the vets opens on Monday?

Thank you
 
it might also be something as simple as a UTI aswell, Carlton was a drinking and peeing machine when he had it. :shock:
 
Awww UTI would be a nicer option. He is as bright as a button, poos normal etc but when I cleaned him out earlier the litter tray was swimming and I only cleaned him out the day before.

I was doing Carlton's tray daily aswell, poor little lamb. I hope it's something less serious like a UTI. I managed it with unsweetened cranberry juice, dandelions and another plant.... oh, i forget its name! I'm thinking fennel but it really isn't.... *scratches head*
 
Thanks Laura I hope it is simple too. Thanks for the advice as well, it really can't hurt even if its not UTI. I wish you could buy Dandelions online :lol:
 
i'm not sure if you've seen the Galen's Garden website? in the herbal tintures bit, top of page 2, they do a special urinary tract support liquid that has all the yummehs for delicate little wee pipes! :lol: looks like a really good site for herbal nomnoms, i'm going to go wild on it after my birthday! :lol:
 
Quote from that site Laura 'Parsley is too strong a urinary stimulant and should not be used.' Guess who raided my Herb garden and ate the Parsley! Yeap Arthur.
