I’ve been posting about Penelope having some recurring bladder issues. UTI’s, bladder sludge, discomfort when pooping/peeing.

Well I recently had to leave her for a week while we went away and the lady watching her gave her veg everyday and made sure to wet it. When I came back, she hadn’t drank much of her water at all.

She’s been back home now almost a week and I have seen her at the water bottles. However her poops are dark, dry and hard. She is still having bladder issues/some bladder sludge. She was showing some discomfort when peeing and lifts her butt up when pooping. She has not lost any weight. She weighs in around 680g everytime I weigh her. I’m not sure why her poops are like this. If it’s possibly connected to her bladder issues.
