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

Smelly Urine

Chloe had stasis a couple of weeks ago and is absolutely fine now. But ever since she has had really smelly strong wee. I put it down to medication and being poorly at first, and then trying (and failing) to pair bond her (thought it might be hormones, even though she is spayed)but 2 weeks on and the smell is getting stronger. I have some katkor cat litter to use tonight to try to get a urine sample for the vet in the morning. She is fine in herself and eating and drinking normally, there is no messy/wet bum.

Any ideas what it might be? Could it be uti? Or maybe stress related?
 
No I havent, never had one with problems before, what do I need to look for (clueless about scent glands/problems really) I know where they are located which is a start.
 
Ick, could well be that, she appears quite clean in that area but she is really fluffy and fidgety, I tried looking earlier and earned myself some lovely scratches on my arm, she doesn't like being held upside down while I fiddle near her bits. Will take her to work with me tomorrow and ask the other nurse to hold while I attempt to clean. She also wee'd on my carpet and left a rather nasty looking browny orange wee which has stained my carpet and smells rather sweet (OH will be mad when he gets home tomorrow!!)
