Have you done x rays to eval the prostate? I suspect you are dealing
with more then just a urinary tract infection. THis might be adrenal
related and became infection in addition to it all. You need to
solve all the issues to solve the problem. Good Luck. All the best.

ferrets with me, and on examination he expressed the most impressive
lime green pus out of his bladder that I have ever seen.

However after 2 weeks he stopped eating and started to loose weight.
I figured that the baytril was bothering his stomach so I stopped the
baytril and started carafate and pepcid ( thank you FHL) and he
started to get better and then started exhibiting signs of his
baldder infection again.

What else should I be doing? Would a daily dose of an antibiotic be
in order?
