Strange one??

Right, I've tried searching but can't find any symptoms the same.:(

Moe, he's a 5 month old Conti Giant. He was neutered on the 17th of November. He's been having unlimited hay and timothy hay. Excel adult (small amount) in the morning with some herbs, parsley, corriander, basil and some rocket. He then has some more pellets in the evening.

Last night I noticed that he was leaving little drops of urine on the floor, brown in colour, it's apparent that he doesn't know he's doing it. Also his droppings were really wet but still round and large.

This morning his droppings were back to normal, they have been all day. Until about an hour ago when I noticed he'd left a little drop of urine when he was drinking his water, and in his litter tray a group of big round wet droppings.

On Friday he did manage to get hold of a bag of rocket and eat a rather large amount :oops:

I've kept him on just hay today as a precaution.


Any Ideas what it could be? It seems strange to have just happened at the same time as last night??.....
 
Im no expert but i would assume the rocket has been the cause of the softer poo. Are you sure its definately wee and not a discharge either from bottom or genitals? Can you or have you checked the neuter wound?

No, it's definatly come from his penis, I checked and could actualy see it dribbling out at one point.

The neuter wound is fine :)

it could be just part of the healing process....my last rabbit had the same problem...but the vet said it should just clear up!

if the problem consists, i'd take him back to the vets!!

Keep an eye on him!
