The 8 days of baytril have seemed to clear it up.  Lets hope it doesn't 
reoccur.  Unfortunately her cagemate Thumper is showing signs of bladder 
sludge.  Not as severe.  We started her on baytril today.  Lil' Rusty, 
their cagemate, may or may not have it.  In the past week, we've tried 
to hold him long enough for him to pee on the towel.   Three times we've 
held him for two hours or more and no wet towel.....  He has iron 
bladder control.  One time we even put it in a carrier for an extra hour 
after holding him, still no pee....  Those three are not heavy 
drinkers.  They usuallly go through 8-10 oz of water in 24 hrs on cool 
days snd about 16 ozs on hot days.
