Hi all
New to posting, but been watching for some time and you all seem to have a wealth of knowledge.
Coopa is our 2nd bunny our last bunny a lionhead called Harley died last year after being spayed. She recovered really well from the operation but after returning from her follow on check up she went down hill. she started urinating over herself and not eating. She never recovered from this even after taking her back to the vets (several times) for anti biotics etc and died a couple of months later. Apart from the peeing as i've already mentioned, we have absolutely no problems with her and i came to the conclusion that i would rather have 5 years of fun with Coopa than risk having to see her go through the same as Harley.
Coopa is a fantastic, loving bunny who will sit on your lap for hours on end watching the TV and being fussed (sitting on her blanket). She's was completely house trained but over the last couple of weeks she's taken to suddenly peeing, very thick creamy wee. She doesn't pose to do it so i assume its taking her by surprise as well (in fact sometimes its as if she doesn't even realise she's done it).
So my question. Coopa's now around 7 months old and not been spayed. After Harley's experience i really didn't want to get Coopa spayed. Is her actions marking or do you think she might have an infection. If i take her to the vets will the insist on getting her spayed?
My husband and i love that bunny to bits, and we only want what's best for her.
