Help needed excessive urination messy-Earls in trouble:(

Please if anyone can help-were so worried about our Earl (the little boy we recued a couple of weeks ago) :(

He has started to urinate excessively...his bum and feet are soaking wet and it STINKS so bad, this isnt normal. Hes also spraying constantly despite having been neutered now. I realise it takes a while for them to calm down but this really is like hes just peeing absolutely ALL the time. His poo's are also abnormal-all wet and a bit misshapen (but theyre not caecotrophs) The smell of this urine is so unlike anything weve experienced before, were really so worried:(

Hes straight to the vet tomorrow morning but if anyone has any advice in the meantime itd be so appreciated

Thank you

He may have a urinary tract infection which will need antibiotic treatment. If he is actually urinary incontinent then it would be a good idea to treat him with a 6 week course of Fenbendazole (Panacur) to cover any risk of EC
If he was only neutered recently then it may be that the proceedure has just set off an infection that should respond well to a course of abx. Taking a sample of his wee to the Vet tomorrow would be helpful

Good Luck

I was going to suggest the same as Jane, sounds like a urine infection, poor little boy, is he walking OK? and steady on his feet?

Hes walking fine...running around madly infact, binkying, the lot:? Seems steady...just a bit crazy, and always spraying...but then hes been like that from day 1

Ill let you know how it goes tomorrow
 
That's good if there are no other symptoms, lets hope it's something that can be cleared up quickly with antibiotics, poor little boy he has been through so much in the last few weeks.

Mind you, his craziness might be because he so young and full of beans and he can smell the other bunnies and probably wants to play.

Keep us posted and good luck at the vets
 
I would go with the urine infection as well at the moment - a course of anitbios will help as will feeding him some yarrow - that is really good for urine problems :)
