BennyandHumphrey
New Born Pup
Hi guys
I’m new to the forum and worried.
I have two rescues ( was meant to be fostering but fell I love ) with me, Benny ( Benedict)and Humphrey. Had them a few months now.
Benny has always been more outgoing and wheekish, whilst Humphrey is more of a grump…hates being stoked etc …they were in a rescue for 9 months as no one wanted them Apparently too old, and boars, and half their ears chewed off from old cage mates etc, so no one took them. Benny is now estimated 3, and Humphrey’s 2 years old.
on Thursday last week, Benny peed bright red blood! No painful urination as far as I could tell, and bright and upbeat …but…I freaked out and went to vet Straight away. They prescribed Baitryl for a suspected UTI, and we had that 2 x a day as well as anti inflam . After 5 days no more red pee and we have stopped meds ( he became so low in himself and so traumatised by the meds being given )
I’m also blaming myself horribly thinking I must have caused the UTI with too much Parsley or something …what if it’s a stone too etc …
Yesterday he perked up and seemed more himself but noticed a lot of bright orange pee. Took sample to vet who found no blood in sample.
Today seems a bit flat …sleeping all day in corner, but his evening he was perkier again.
He is eating hay and lettuce etc …and drinking …but probably less than normal. small poos, but beginning to look a bit more normal…but still bright orange pee!
going back to vet tomorrow …but could it just be how urine is after an infection? I read here the bacteria can be orange after infection clears. He’s had pro c sprinkled on pellets each day
many thanks just worried sick and googling and reading everything scary
