I had Bobby from the RSPCA 3 weeks ago, 8-9 year old castrated male. Suffers from sever spinal arthritis.
First week he was ok, drank more the Charlie but he's bigger than Charlie and it wasn't considerably more. 2 weeks ago started drinking 750ml sometimes abit more a day.
Ran in house bloods, kidneys and liver fine. Calcium higher, vet wasn't worried and advised repeat bloods in a month.
March weighted 3kg, 11 days ago 2.5kg, yesterday 2.2kg.
Teeth checked, a few small spurs but nothing the vet us worried about, no history if dental issues despite being seized on welfare grounds.
Urinalysis normal, SG very low but apparently that can be normal for rabbits.
Lateral xrays taken conscious, forwarded to an exotic vet as the vet wasn't really sure what he was looking at. Bloods sent to the lab for a diagnostic profile and haemogram, should be back this morning.
Eating amazing, he LOVES food to the point I'm pretty sure he would eat anything I offered him. Diet of hay from Tinothyhay.co.uk, excell senior nuggets and mostly forage (hawsweed and willow mainly).
His bum is soaked from all the urinating. He was perfectly litertraned but now he wees on blankets, litter trays lined with newspaper, wood shavings, more newspaper and topped with hay but still not keeping him dry.
Any ideas?
