Well vet gave Oliver thorough examination, expresses urine and no sludge came out and spun his urine sample and tested it and showed normal sludge levels and no infection present. She said she couldn't feel any sludge in his bladder. So we are going to try a glucosamine supplement to see if that helps and as he has only been on the extra fluids 2 weeks continue with those . His ear infection hasn't returned so that's great news. So I am glad he didon't need a flush and she thinks it's bladder imflamation still but said of no improvement in 4 weeks to come back to maybe xray. So he will continue with metacam as well. He was eatting his hay bale in the vets too so he isnt too stressed by it all. Glad to have him checked over.
That sounds like a good update. I'm glad you didn't have to go in for diagnostics this time. X-rays and blood tests are stressful on the little fur balls ...
Glucosamine works very well, but takes a good few weeks to kick in a make a difference. I know this from experimenting with it on myself too! I have used herbs to help with bladder inflammation and the mucilaginous ones can work very well. And they are *safe* - I always check with my very rabbit savvy vet :thumb:
