Hamster UTI?

Question

okay so about 4 weeks ago i saw blood in my hammy's cage and it turned out she had a urinary tract infection. shes been on medication for about 3 weeks now. she gradually got better but last week she had a sudden loss of strength but quickly gained it back. sunday was the first time her tail was completly dry up until friday evening. i picked her up and there was a lot of blood. so my question is

was this just a temporary setback?

and

is there more than just one medicine for hamster urinary tract infections?

Answer 1

There are multiple antibiotics that can be given, it could be a need to continue the treatment. But it could also be that the meds have caused some digestive issues ... just make sure that the blood is in the urine and not the f***s.
