We took Riff to the vet today. Urine full of blood. Starting anti bios and anti-inflammatories, and I will also start pro biotics. The good news is that Riff (who has diabetes) was negative for glucose and ketones today. The low carb diet is working!
 
Get well soon Riff! Hope he bucks up for you soon Lucinda. x
 
Aww, sorry to hear Riff's not well. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
 
Vet phoned today. Riff's urine is clear of any crystals, so no stones.

Riff is very grumpy at the moment and not keen on the meds at all....
 
that is great news! did the vet say why the bleeding? perhaps dip the syringe tip into something he likes and then squirt it into his mouth. sending riff many xoxoxoxoxoxo and for you :rose:rose:rose hoping riff gets better soon and be a good boy for mummy and take your medicine :)p:)p

Riff mustn't have fruit because of the diabetes. But he loves the GG mouth cream - I wondered about dipping the syringe in that for him....
 
aww Riff! hope he's making a full recovery, I'm sure the vets will look after him <3
