Oliver had his sludgey bladder x rayed and expressed 3 weeks ago. The past few days he is showing signs of discomfort and sitting for longer periods and not running around as much and definitely quieter. He is eatting and pooping ok. He has to go back to vets next week for his pee to be checked for calcium levels. I have changed pellets to oxbow t changed to low calcium veg (he won't eat them wet unfortunately) and changed their water to low calcium water and got him the oxbow urinary tablets too. But I guess this isn't enough. He isn't a big drinker. The vet said to only give metacam if he seemed off so I have given him 0.5ml last night but should he be on metacam daily ?? And I have read about sub q fluids to help sludge (vet said his sludge is in early stages with no stones) but then I read fluids can affect electrolyte balance. Also read magnesium liquid can help. I can afford monthly bladder expressing at £120 a time and the 3 hour round trip journey to this vet is a long way for wee Oliver but i don't know what to suggest v for the vet to try next ??
