Young Bun
So after an episode of statis in February, my bunny Roxy had a couple of wees behind the sofa which was highly unusual for her but I put it down to the stress of me medicating her and everything was fine after that. Last month I was away and my parents had both rabbits at their house and when I went to collect them noticed one of them had wee'd on their fleece blanket and it looked at bit chalky then when I got them home Roxy again had a wee behind the sofa but I wondered if it was just territory marking being back home.
Although she seems fine in herself, still eating and playing around there were a couple of days last week where I thought she seemed a bit sad and was sitting with her back pressed right up against the wall so I decided to take her to the vet. I told her all of the above and she had a good feel underneath her and took a urine sample which she says had traces of blood in it. She's now on a 10 day course of Sulfatrim for UTI and we have metacam as well. I just wondered if anyone had any advice of what to do with a bunny with UTI...is there any food I can give her that will help?
And being the weirdo I am, I am convincing myself that it is something more serious and she is in kidney failure or something, would there be more symptoms if this was the case? Shes still the exact same weight she's always been so I'm hoping that is a good sign...
