Vibes Needed For Charlotte Please :( UD. Bladder infection :(

Ah, yes the abx should make her feel much better once they reach proper levels.
I always thought giving metacam to a bunny having bladder problems was contraindicated. Perhaps I'm thinking of kidneys. I know Pip is a sludgy girl and although metacam will take the discomfort down for her cricky legs and get her moving more, it always seems to cause other digestive/elimination problems. Like as not it's just my whack bunny. :roll:

Really hoping all will be well and back to normal soon. xxxx

Hiya :wave:

It wasn't Metacam he gave her, I don't remember the exact name. But that's good to know

I'm pleased to report that Charlottes doing a lot better this afternoon, eating well and bright in herself

Glad she is feeling so much better. Hope Max is giving her lots of licks.

Metacam is not contraindicated for bladder problems (as MimzMum's wondered - it is kidneys it's contraindicated for and it's *probably* not such a big deal for rabbits anyway as it is for cats and dogs). Metacam is actually recommended for bladder sludge and similar conditions as an anti-inflammatory it can 'protect' the bladder was when the potential infection is attacking. Artie was on Metacam for about four years and I'm sure it helped control his condition a lot.

As others have said, don't dwell on the guilt, you did what you felt was best based on past experience, she did improve so you weren't to know.
