I need help!!!!  My bun, Cookie, seem to have some change in his behaviour...recently, he had been peeing around in his cage and dirtying himself and Happy with all his pees...Cookie used to be a very clean bunny and both of them are sterilised.... There isn't any unhappiness between the two buns as they are living together in harmony and I din make any changes in their food nor lifestyles.... They tend to matt their furs more often now too lei...they like to lick each other and getting themselves in a mess..... Help Help.....  |

Hmm.... usually this shouldn't happen if both are sterilised.
Do you think Cookie could have bladder problem? eg, urinary tract infaction, kidney problem or calcium sludge.
Sign to look out for:
a) bunny straining to pee
b) bunny dribbling pee - drops of pee while he hops
c) loss of litter habit - not peeing in litter box where it used to
d) bunny is lethargic
e) bunny seems to be in pain
f) sudden change in drinking/peeing pattern - drinking more
g) urine scalding on legs and tail
You could try giving dried cranberry (without sugar) in case it is a urinary tract problem or if your bunny is prone to having stones/high calcium content in pee.
If you suspect it is a medical condition and not behaviourial problem, a vet check is recommended.

I think this is due to him lying on his pee. Scalding the legs and tail I think is due to them being unable to lift the tail up to pee properly. So your condition may not be urine scalding. Does his legs and tail get wet also? Maybe you can observe his urinary position and see if he strain to pee or not. |

Hi Cottontail, How to see whether Cookie is straining to pee or not?  |
