Found Millie looking very hunched up in the cage this morning. When I lifted her out she was very wet underneath and it smelt quite strong too. I immediately suspected a urinary infection. I have got some Baytril so gave her some and have syringed her some water and she is now in a little cage on her own. She has also now had a small amount of diarrhea. She wants to lie on her side but can't get comfortable. She also seems to have gone very thin literally overnight. She really isn't looking good. :'( Any ideas?
 
I'm no expert and after this weeks shenanigans i ought to be

Why don't you try ringing up a vet and ask for advice

You say she has a small amount of diarrhoea well what worked for me there was some Diocalm from the chemist

Others will be along soon and they are more advised than me but i would definitely seek advice from the vet
 
Don't forget the probiotics after Baytril to keep her gut healthy & balanced...
 
Debbie so sorry to hear :'( poor Millie
Vets ASAP, hunched up as you know means they're in pain, the smell could be a number of things i'd hate to guess.
Have you some Metacam, pain killers?
Please let us know how she goes, sending piggie kisses to her :-* :-*
