The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

POORLY BUN, HELP PLEASE ..wet botom area

help please, rex is a dutch male bunny who has been fixed :oops:
today i have noticed that his bottom end is all wet, not with poop its as if he is leaking, i have taken him to the vet and he doesnt have a temp, or any sign of infection she said.
she gave him an injection and has asked to see him again in the morning.
he is off his food and drink completly today, there have been no poops or wee today , but his bottom end is constantly wet . any ideas???????:?
 
If your rabbit is not eating, drinking or pooing then he needs immediate attention regardless of what is causing his wet rear end, rabbits go down hill very quickly and need to eat, drink and poop almost constantly.

Do you know what he was injected with?

I think a wet rear end is usually associated with a UTI (urinary tract infection) and incontinance due to injury/disease in the back or hind legs, or perhaps EC.

However, I am sure someone more knowledgable than me will be along soon with some advice on this but I am sure that whatever the underlying cause the stassis (not eating/pooing) needs to be dealt with promptly.
 
hi,
i have syringe fed him some water and am going to try giving him some critical care too.
i have lost bunnies in the past and its scarey how quickly they go down hill.
