Can holding in urine cause problems?

Bit of a random query but my blind bunny has been geting herself stuck on top of the hutch, she will jump up but not back down again. So she has had to be 'rescued' several times a day and always dashes to her tray for a wee afterwards.

I've noticed the water bowl emptying a lot more than normal though. Could she have caused an infection from holding on so long- or is it a coincidence?

Any ideas?
Thanks
 
Yes retention can be a predisposing factor for a UTI. I think if the water is going down faster than normal I would pop her to the vet to be checked. A UTI or kidney problems could be involved.
