Hi
My rabbit has blood in her urine, She's been to the vet's and had a course of antibiotics, which cleared it up very quickly, but this morning, two days after the antibiotics stopped, there was a bloody puddle again. She is at the vet's now, having an X-ray/ultrasound for bladder stones. If they find any they will operate immediately, but I've been told that they could come back, and there is not much I can do about it. If they can't find bladder stones then the vet is a bit stumped. For years (two) she has drunk far more than I would expect a rabbit to, and recently I have even noticed her drinking her own urine. She seemed to become partly incontinent just before she first produced a bloody puddle, making little puddles everywhere (normally she is 'fairly' housetrained). She is also on a course of panacur in case it is E. Cuniculi making her so thirsty, but the vet doesn't think that this could be causing blood. Does anybody have any ideas/experience of anything like this? I am extra worried because this rabbit is also depressed, having just lost her bonded partner.
