spotted sludge in Hercules urine 3 weeks ago ,started pushing fluids ,sludge seemed to disipate but he still was in his litter box frequently ..so ive run a course of SMZ-TMP antibiotics thru him for a UTI ..now he seems not so uncomfortable but i see the sludge is back again..i know he prob needs to be flushed by my vet but my question is 75ml of sub Q fluids are given to buns for this kind of thing and altho i dont have sub Q fluids ,,he is an easy bunny to get to drink..i can easily spike his water with 100% unsweetened cranberry juice and hell drink more then the recomended 75 ml a day on his own.,.is this something that i can do safely for him or is this something that will overwork his kidneys..??..moneys a little tight right now to take him in to flush his bladder..what can i do for him until i can take him back??..'any advice would be so appreciated.
