Urine on bottom of tail

Pringle

I have noticed Spot has a little bit of urine on the bottom of her tail, would this be because she is sitting in it or may she have an infection :?
 
Hey there,
I noticed that one of my buns had a urine soaked tail, it turned out she had a urine infection after passing a bladder stone, they did a urine test and she had anti biotics. Think you may need a visit to the vets just to make sure.
Hope that helps.
Good luck!

If she is quite wet with urine it may be that she has some sort of infection. What does her urine look like.:?

Buns tend to have quite thinck wee anyway but if it is sludgy then that can be a sign of calcium build up or it may be that she has kidney probs or bladder stones or even just a sludgy bladder.

Make sure your bun is drinking plenty and avoid too many pellets (due to calcium) and also cabbage, kale etc.

A course of anti-biotics can do the trick.

If it is just a wee bit f urine then chances are she has just been sitting in her wee.

If you are at all worried then take her to the vet to be on the safe side:D
