Hello,
My ferret Dolly, was recently diagnosed with UTI
(urinary tract infection), in which her vulva was
raised and bloody now and again. The vet gave me some
antibiotic which has helped. It is called somethin
like 'baytril' (hard to read writing). she is
suppose to take medication for 16 days, in which she
has 4 days left.
Hope this helped some. However I didn't notice any
bumps on Dolly's belly.
