Hi, just wondering if anyone has any advice. My female rabbit (aged 2) has been suffering with inflamed and sore skin around her genitals for a few months. Initially the vet treated the skin infection and then carried out ultrasounds and X-rays. These showed sludge in her bladder which he flushed out. The X-rays showed no sign of arthirits. She has been on metacam and septrin for the past three weeks but I have seen no improvement. I am still needing to clean her daily to get the urine off her skin and fur. Her skin is still sore looking. I was advised to reduce the amount of herbs I was giving her and she now has only the tiniest amount. She is going back to the vets this week but I just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar. Thanks

Hi we are having the same problem too my vet has said limit pellets to but give plenty of wet veg that isn't high in calcium.also your bun may have become immune to septrin and may need a different one
has bun had the sludge removed
Hi, thanks for the reply. What veg do you give to your bun? I've cut parsley out as that is high in calcium but have still been giving her coriander. I've also limited her pellets. She had the sludge removed nearly three weeks ago. I really hope it's not formed again so soon
Hi, this is such a difficult problem to manage. I posted my thoughts on my own experience here:

It just helped to keep a bit of weight on given his diet was restricted. He was a big bunny - frenchie. He loved it but it needs to be very burnt so as not to upset the tummy. :thumb:
