How can you tell if a bunny is incontinent?

What are the signs/symptoms? :wave:

ETA: compared to refusing to be litter trained/scent marking with pee?
 
Little puddles,especially near cage door are signs that B is having problems again.It usually means she runs to her cage to use litter tray but it comes out too quickly as she jumps in.

Grace doesn't even seem to notice when she is weeing :? she wees everywhere and doesn't lift her tail or 'assume position' like the others do

I really don't know tbh ..... never had a bun do this before :?
He is off to the vet for his Myxi tomorrow, so it is on my list of things to discuss..... will let you know what my vet thinks
 
Not sure if this is the same but I had an incontinent guinea pig and her back end became very messy because she'd wee and poo a lot and still sit in it. There was wee's allover not in the usual corner and her bum was always slightly wet.

This is just what she is like, she's always covered in wee and poo and just dots wee all over
 
Sounds just like my Minstrel. Constantly wet, puddles all over the place, poor fur condition and matting round back end. This has sadly been going on for over a year and so far no treatment has worked :(
 
I have 2 incontinent bunnies but they are disabled and they just wee everywhere I have them on Vet bed and washable mats which I have to change every other day and so I am always washing.
