Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum & desperately trying to help my mini lop bunny Ossie.
He is only 19 months old & has such a lovely affectionate nature -the most affectionate bun we have ever had. He has been at the vets every day for the past week- he has had problems with bladder sludge - and this is the third time it has recurred. He has had injections every day for pain as well as various anti biotics, had his bladder manually expressed twice at the vets (this week) and also been cathetized to flush out the crystals in his bladder (they x-rayed him and there are no stones present). He came home last night but is still not eating, only drank a little and just looks very miserable.
He has another appointment tomorrow, but I am really starting to despair. To see him in pain & so unhappy is making me ill because I love him so much & just want to do the best for him. When he does go into his litterbox he still makes this little noise when passing urine. It's just dreadful. He has only passed four little feces today. The vet said he must go on a low calcuim diet too which I have researched into - but he just won't even eat at the moment. Also, he was treated for pinworms a couple of weeks ago- he really hasn't had a good time of it at all recently. They said this wouldn't have anything to do with his condition now but I just thought I would mention it anyway. I'm heartbroke - please help x
