Smelly Urine & odd behaviour ...

Ok guys need your advice!

My little bun's behaviour has changed pretty dramatically over the past few months. Always perfectly litter trained she now seems to have no control of where she goes, she pee's anywhere and drops little poos wherever she walks. More recently she's started humping everything from table legs, handbags to friends feet! She was neutered in her first year, she's now 5 but seems to have reverted to her baby behaviour. Also, this weekend her urine absolutely stinks. I've never smelt anything like it, its so strong and almost fishy! Gross! She's had no change to diet or anything.

Any ideas what could be causing this?!
 
Maybe she has a Urinary Tract Infection
I would take her to your Vet as any inexplicable behavioural changes can indicate a health problem.
 
A wee update ... took SJ to the vet on Monday, explained all changes in behaviour, she asked me to bring her a urine sample today which i did. She then called me a few hours later and asked me to bring SJ to the clinic tomorrow morning for tests as she does not think the kidney funtion is working effectively and this could be the cause of the change in behaviour.

... shall update again tomorrow incase any of your rabbits experience the same!

Its good that your Vet is being thorough and I hope he/she can find out what is wrong.

Good luck
