Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

He did have a sore hock but it cleared up a few weeks back and can not see any evidence of it now.
Can not see anything wrong with his nails.
He has not eaten anything other than the usual- hay, a few pellets, herbs- basil, mint, parsley and a few spring greens.

:roll: Too late, I have sprayed it with Pet Wizard. I hope that is all it was... well I can not see anything wrong with him at all, he seems fine in himself and is eating and pooping, only thing is, he did sleep in his hay box today which he very rarely does? :shock:

I'm thinking on the lines of urinary tract/bladder infection. Bunnies that usually only wee in the same place could well wee somewhere else when they are in pain. That *may* also be a clue as to him kipping in his litter tray.
I'd expect to be able to see he was in pain if this was the case though and I'm sure you would be aware, unless he's really good at disguising it, unlikely as it would be very painful.

He has pee'eed on our bed once, on his feeding bed twice, the floor once and in his hay box (different to litter box) a few times but other than that he does pee in his litter box.
He does not appear to be in pain, he is hot though as he is panting a bit so I have popped his ice pod in with him and he is lying on it now.
Would he still be bouncing around if he was in that much pain?! and eat and poop, still go crazy for his treats?
The 'blood' was really only 2 tiny spots, smaller than the size of your litter finger nail and one was in a spot outside of the wee patch.

Unlikely to be bouncy if he had an infection, but it's all I could think of. I wouldn't expect much blood in the wee with an infection. Maybe he has just knocked a claw and there's nothing to see now.
Hope he's okay

I called the vets and she was not too worried just said to keep an eye on him and if I could get a urine sample and pop it in to them as that would be a lot better than taking him in and stressing him out.
