Amber likely uti

[bunny momma]

On tuesday during her grooming Amber had a wet rear and we could not tell if pee or water.
Spouse sad pee outside litterbox late tonight so Amber may have another uti.
Vet not in some fridays, so may not get any advice. In past she had baytril so I may need to use my emergency meds. I do not know how I can medicate her if I cannot pick her up after my surgery. Nephew not available and spouse cannot pick her up to hand her to me.
Send vibes.

Oh no, you don't need for Amber to need medicating. Poor girly

If you can get some advice as to what to give her, could your spouse try hiding the medication in some tasty food. I know with something like Baytril that will be difficult. Sending her lots of vibes.

Oh poor Amber, sending loads of vibes for her xx

Lots of vibes being sent x

 

[bunny momma]

Thank you for the vibes..Only baytril I have are pills that I need to quarter and dissolve in water. It will not taste good. Spouse got home from work now, so hope to get a dose in her if he can pick her up and put her on my lap.

It was a tricky transfer, yet first dose of baytril is done.
As a bonus I got to hold her and groom her. She did not like taste yet was a very good girl

Was she dry around her bum ?

My Vet always prescribes an abx course of at least 10 days for UTIs. Hopefully you have enough supplies to do that. Shorter courses usually don’t fully clear the infection as the core of it is usually deep within the bladder wall. So 5-7 day courses might mean obvious symptoms resolve, but some residual bacteria remains.

Sending lots more vibes for Amber, glad you were able to start her on abx xx

Thank you Jane. Yes her bum was wet. Spouse picked up some emergency baytril pills when he collected Raven after his dental, so have enough for at least 10 days.
I got her dose from last time, yet wonder if it was low. She gets 17mg each day and weight about 1.8 kg. Your thoughts?

Thanks Jane
The dose she got last time was 10mg per kg once per day, so not as low as I suspected.

After she got her fifth daily dose of abx, Amber got groomed today. Her tail was dry with just a few small dribbles on her bum, so abx must be working. She was a very good girl with her grooming.

I would still do a full 10 day course. Hopefully that will insure the infection is completely cleared.
