My two and a half year old bunny Smudge is suffering with what seemed to be a recurrent urine infection. We are about to take him to the vets for the third time but I was wondering if anybody has any advice to help us decide on the way forward?
Back in June we noticed he was wet and urine stained underneath and the vets put him on a week of Baytril and Metacam. We were also washing him daily with hibiscrub.
When he came off the medication he was initially fine but about 3 weeks ago he got urine stained again and we went back to the vets who prescribed a longer period on Bayril and Metacam. He came off that about a week ago and again was happy until today when we have noticed in addition to being wet he seems to have signs of blood in the form of a scab coming out of his penis.
The vet discussed giving him an ultrasound to see if there are any signs of calcium deposits in his bladder or kidneys. She couldn't feel any when she checked him out before.
The baytril and/or Metacam did seem to help but I was wondering how long rabbits should stay on that for?
Thanks in advance on behalf of poorly Smudge.
