what are vets looking for...

...when you take your bun in for a routine check and they examine their bits? i know they're making sure there's no mucky bum but i noticed my vet having a really close look at esme this morning and kind of parting her fur around the area of her lady bits:?
 
I think when my vet did this she was checking that blackberry was a girl! She only did it the first time and hasn't done it since though...
 
i'm not sure as this is the first time she's taken such a long look - we have regular checks as both of mine are dental buns. thinking about it, the fur did look slightly yellow:? getting paranoid now but esme really wouldn't want me to wake her up to have a look now (vet didn't mention anything out of the ordinary btw).
 
Near their bits, I saw a video on you tube of a vet cleaning them with a cotton bud, pretty minging really ...urhhh, although tbh I've never looked at my buns :oops: but my vet too looks at the bits.
 
dunno my vet makes thier little bits pop out when I go :shock: (not every time mind) maybe hes checking thier sex and that they arent inflamed/infected ect :wave:
 
Looking for any swelling, scabs, inflammation, urine scald, diarrhoea, matts or injury. We usually check genitals, bottom and glands at that point and if I haven't seen the rabbit before I check if they are the sex they are meant to be.
