Possible UTI and white powdery urine
Hey any help would be greatly appreciated, I've followed this board for years as a lifeline for my little guy. Bane is an almost 4yrs old grey squirrel. Recently he started acting very lethargic and slept more than usual. Also started having difficulty peeing, seemed to have to be pushing and only comes out drop by drop. I have also sometimes found white powder in his urine (pic attached, having issues with video upload though. that larger piece in the image is food, not a super large chunk of powder btw) and can watch him push out little white pieces of the powder when he pees sometimes.
I have Cipro on hand (250mg tabs) and have removed nuts from the diet for now. normal diet is 2 Henrys Healthy blocks a day and some fruit. Now I am sticking to just the blocks for these past 3 days (that's when I noticed the symptoms) along with fruits like watermelon and red leaf lettuce to keep hydration up. Also some cranberries but hit or miss on how he feels toward them any given day.
He weighs 477g, yesterday and today his energy level seems much better and he still eats and drinks but still noticing the issues with peeing and some powder. Also ANY help on getting him to take meds would be great! I'm so worried about my little guy...
