Hi all,
Sorry I haven't posted in a long time
I have a 7 year old bun, Sid, and I noticed over the weekend that his tail was quite wet. I picked him up to have a look and inbetween his legs he was also wet and quite sore. He has also lost a lot of weight.
I took him to the vets tonight and they said he could have kidney failure.
They also tried to clip him as his fur and skin is quite bad, but he was too distressed by it all, so he's booked in again this Weds and will stay with the vets all day so they can clean him up.
He has gone from 2.4 kilos down to 1.5 kilos, since last September He is quite wobbly on his feet but is still nibbling at his food.
They have prescribed 0.7 mls of baytril per day, as his skin is quite bad.
I feel so bad for him and wished I'd noticed this much sooner.
They said I can get blood tests done (they took a urine sample today), but I am unsure whether to go down this route or not?
I just don't want him to suffer. Any advice you can offer will be great, thank you x
