I'm sorry, I missed the latest posts until I saw your other thread.

I am so sorry he is still having problems. I hope things go well tomorrow and that they don't find anything too worrying.

Thanks Claire.

Well I've just spoken to our vet and she's not happy about the blood re-appearing.  In his last sample there was no traces of blood or crystals but she thinks now she needs to be more thorough.

He has to go in tomorrow to have a GA and be catheterised so she can empty his bladder for a better sample and then blow up his bladder with air to X-ray it.  She's also going to send off his urine to be cultured.

Apparently because he's a boy he shouldn't get recurring cystitus due to his anatomy and she's really hoping that it's not something more serious.

We are lucky with our vet she's very good but it doesn't stop us worrying  :'(

Hope everything turns outs OK and it gets sorted soon, know how you feel

I don't know how comparable rabbits and dogs are... but one of my boy bunnies had recurring cystitis (though never saw any blood in his urine) and eventually neither antibiotics, nor homeopathic remedies (which worked to start off with) or anything else worked. My vet then suggested to give him a vitamin C supplement to acidify his urine (something which is apparently done with dogs and cats too) - and bingo, he never had cystitis again! So hopefully it's just something simple with Jakey.

I had the same thing happen with a male cocker I had years ago. You could see blood in his urine, but the urine tests didn't show any blood cells!  ::) After a couple of rounds of antibiotics, the blood would just come back a few days after stopping; the Vet said to give him Vitamin C (500mg, per day) Cleared him right up and the blood would only come back if I didn't give him the Vit. C for a couple of days  ph34r It certainly does no harm and won't interfere with any other meds they may be on

Best of luck tomorrow  :blink:
