Pepper is almost two,
Had gut stasis for a week or so,
Now she's fighting something in her bladder, vet has no idea,
I need to know what this is. ImageUploadedByRabbit Forum1398902937.427112.jpg
 
A rabbits bladder wall can become thickened due to irritation or infection, such as from bladder sludge or a UTI. Has your vet ruled those out?

Here are a few references to it:
Bladder stones/sludge-
"The bladder may be small and thickened, or an abdominal mass may be palpable."
" the wall of the bladder was thickened and the mucosal surface was marked with fine paintbrush haemorrhages"

You see the best rabbit vet for your area don't you? Could they consult with a specialist?
 
I don't think she has sludge, her pee is still normal color.

My vet was a bit unsure,
Might have to get a second opinion,
Don't want her to leave me
