Warren Veteran
He did ask what I fed..and went 'ah ' as soon as I mentioned dandelion leaves.The Vet will probably express any sludge from his bladder whilst he is sedated for the Xrays. Hopefully there will not be any stones. Then the Vet will run through how to manage his diet and fluids to try to minimise the risk of the problem recurring.
It's ironic really...I started giving dandelion leaves a month or so ago having read they can be a diuretic and good for kidney function..plus the buns love them. Only learnt today that they are high in calcium too. So in trying to do the right thing ...ended up with a bun with sludge[emoji27] . Ah well..I've learnt an awful lot today and hopefully no long term damage done. Dandelions are now relegated to the carrot and banana bin..ie.an occasional treat.
Of course it may not be just the dandelion. .will discuss further tomorrow.
