[QUOTE="GaliBionicle, post: 2258914, member: 789227"] ...a rabbit? Hello, I asked a question on my other account a few days ago about seeing blood in my rabbit's urine (yes, I am aware of a thing called 'red urine', and it is not that.) After not seeing if for a few days, I thought it might have gone away, Last night, however, I saw blood in it again. I now know she definitely needs to see a vet, but I have a few questions. 1: How much will it cost to get her checked? The things I (unfortunately) think it is likely to be are: an infection, stones or cancer (as she is an unspayed doe) 2: Is a normal vet able to treat those things in a rabbit? I have heard that rabbits usually need vets trained in exotic animals, as many regular vets don't know enough about rabbits and sometimes give them the wrong thing (such as amoxicillin). This may have changed by now, though. 3: If it is stones, is it likely they will have to operate? I am really concerned about her having an operation, as small animals don't always survive. And she is 7yrs old. Thank you so much, Gali By the way, before someone mentions it, there is a very good reason she is not spayed. I did not realize that it should have been done until about a year ago. As she is 7yrs old now, I feel the risk of an operation is too great unless there is a reason to do so (like cancer).
