Hi all, apologies for the crude topic!

Checked on my Syrian today and noticed that his penis was visible, it doesn’t appear infected (there’s no puss or discharge but it looks a bit inflamed at the tip?) so I have changed his cage, completely cleaned it, and put a very small amount of saw dust and paper flakes to absorb his urine, and changed his bedding all in the case of a urinary infection, and will do the same tomorrow and see how he is then.

I was just wondering from anyone who has personally experienced this themselves what this has turned out to be medically or whether it has just resolved on its own, my vets aren’t open tomorrow and so I would have to wait until Monday for an appointment
