I took Benjamin and Nudge to the vet yesterday to be vaccinated, while there I showed the vet that nudge had urine burn and lost ALL the hair on his inner legs.
The vet assured me it would just have been from sitting in his litter box and the heat irritating the skin..
He told me to use Aloveen conditioner (meant for dogs) to ease the soreness.
I noticed Nudge was arching his back funny today while peeing several times and he was doing little pees over and over as if it was painful to do the whole thing.
I turned him over and his penis area (sorry if that's not correct way to say it) is red and swollen.
I am really concerned but the vets are already closed. I can't take him to the vet to tomorrow until the afternoon because I have to transfer some rescue rats to melbourne :/
does it sound like an infection? what can I do in the mean time to help?
this has never happened to nudge before, his never got urine burn and rarely gets his bum dirty which is also happening.. so I thought something was up and now I'm annoyed I didn't question the vet more!
by the way nudge is neutered if that makes a difference.
