My poor Coco. I've noticed over the last few days that he's been drinking tons more than usual and over the last couple of days he's started dribbling wee. He still goes to his tray but is randomly dripping.
Did loads of research on here before my vets appointment this morning and the vet (one that actually gave me confidence she was rabbit savvy, as there are 7 vets at the practice I go to, so never end up with the same one) did everything I expected. She checked his teeth and they are fine, felt his tummy which seems ok, so she's prescribed antibiotics (Baytril) in the hope it was just an infection. I took a urine sample in a couple of hours later, but they have rung to say that it's clear. He's also lost 0.2kg, but she said that may be because he has a new girlfriend and is more active.
So I'm presuming it's worse than I originally thought, I have to see if he gets better by sunday and go back on monday if not when they will do blood tests - she said it could be his kidneys but that it's unusual for such a young bun (he's about 20 months).
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to share really and ask for other people's experiences - many of the threads I read about drinking lots/incontinence were just queries didn't come back with definitive answers.
PS. I asked about the possibilty it could be EC and trying Panacur but she said she'd prefer to try one medication at a time - does EC show up in urine?
