I'm not having the best of runs of things at the moment - a number of things have gotten me down over the last few weeks - probably started with my worry over Lillian getting UTI 2 weeks ago. We've been keeping a very close eye on her each day to make sure that she is ok and no sign of any more issues.
When I've cleaned the bunnies out (every 2 days), there has been a very healthy wet area in the bedding area (megazorb, straw and newspaper on the base). So I have been confident that things are ok.
I checked Lillian last night and this morning - she was bone dry underneath. She has been eating well, and every morning the previous nights supper has been demolished with no trace of any food left.
I've literally just checked Lillian 20 minutes ago, and there is evidence that she is a bit wet in her genitalia area. I am now in full panic mode.
It's 8pm on a saturday night again, and I don't know if UTI can return so quckly - 2 weeks after being supposidly cleared up.
In view of the fact that the x-ray she had 2 weeks ago showed no evidence of bladder stones, then I don't feel the need for another x-ray if it comes to that.
I am just about near breaking down now.
I don't want to make a call to the vets now - and Sunday is possibly worse for any call out, but I don't want to sit on it til Monday.
If we go tomorrow, I'm not sure if they would hospitalise - if there is any evidence, so I may just be paying for a vet to say 'come back tomorrow' - and I don't want to do that.
My initial question to everybun is - has anybun had any previous knowledge or experience of a rabbit getting UTI 2 weeks after being treated and cleared for it.
I may also be over-reacting and over-sensitive on this and perhaps someone will tell me that Lillian might have just been to the toilet and was just wet from that. But deep down I am thinking not - and I am being panicky about it.
Advice please. And thank you all in advance. I'm running out of tissues for my eyes now.
