Case study with Sabrina, going to 4th year Murdoch University Vet Student.  

High calcium oxalate crystals in turbid urine. Excessive calcium had been given in the alternate day digestive pills (Oxbow) and Vit C tablet (Oxbow). Pellets (Showmaster) are said to make 20% of the diet with hay making 80%.  

The rabbit goes home on Dec 31, 2016. Advise to cut out digestive pills, Vit C, give more water and vegetables. Cage hygiene. No alfalfa hay but only timothy hay which is fed. 

Sabrina gave a good  presentation on the case including an interpretation of urine test.  I hope she remembers urine scalding in rabbits if she gets an examination question on this subject in the 4th year.
