Beatrix has Cystitis :( I noticed red wee in their littter tray this morning. I was taking them to the vet anyway to get Darcy checked as he has snuffles this past week and wanted Beatrix checked just in case. Poor Beatrix was very senstitive when examined. We know its def her as Darcy did a big wee on the vet's table (I think he was aiming for the vet!:lol:) and its wasn't red. Her temperature is normal. He said to give her metacam for the next week and should stop the inflamation and pain. Does anyone have any tips please that could help Beatrix? x

Has Beatrix had any apple leaves or sticks recently?

They colour the wee anywhere between bright viscous orange and bright maroon red.
 
Beatrix is having an X-ray to see what's happening. Vet thinks possible stone. She also has tiny spur so that will be filed while she is under ga. :( She has lost half a kg since Tuesday :( please send vibes for my baby x
 
Oh no I am really sorry to hear she has lost half a kilo. :( I really hope the vet finds the cause and that Beatrix can get the right treatment. Mega mega vibes for your lovely girl. xxx
 
Beatrix has a bacterial infection. Xrays showed no stones and teeth fine on full examination. She is on baytril for two weeks. She is only just coming round from ga so they said they want to keep her in to see how recovers. I can collect her in the morning. Can't wait to get my baby home x

Thanks so much for all the vibes xx

Any advice/tips on bacterial infections please let me know! x
 
Aww no, poor bun! :(

We're going through this with Smudge at the mo, she's also on baytril. Our vet also gave us cystaid which is usually for cats (she's a biggish bun), and said to increase veg (and add water to the veg), to flush her out.

Same as when humans get it I guess, you just need to flush out the infection,

I'll ask for that tomorrow. Beatrix can't eat veg as they upset her tummy. The only veg she has now is celery with lots of fresh herbs. That was on of the problems as Beatrix refused to drink. Hopefully now we she will be on baytril and metacam she will feel better and drink more. Sorry your Smudge is going through this too. Please give her a nosey rub from me xx

Yeah ours can get a bit of a funny tummy with too much veg. Or that's what we thought was giving them gas a while back, so we just stopped veg completely. We've now started it up again and fingers crossed they've been OK with it so far.

Thanks :) She seems to be getting better! It's not stopping her being naughty and eating the wrapped xmas pressies anyway :roll:
