Do neutered males ever spray urine?

...Or does it definitely stop once neutered? Or do they sometimes still spray urine (eg on female rabbits)? If so, is this likely to be often?

(My rabbits are both neutered I'm just wondering) :)
 
Yup, they can do. It can be an any situation, but normaally and extreme one, such as a bonding, or a new/different rabbit smell in their territory.
 
It's nothing I have experienced with mine, but mine are quite stable. I would expect if they were ferofcious sprayers for it to occur in an anxious boy, or a boy in a situation that made him anxious.

Also, potentially a homone deficiency might cause that, or an additional, malformed and unnoticed testicle too.

Yup. Max sprayed me a few times when I was bonding him with Timmy and Mimi :shock: Clearly he thinks Im his property! :lol:
 
If it were to go on for a protracted length of time and/or the Buck displayed other sexual behaviour a lot too (endless humping, even nesting) it can be indicative of a medical problem and Veterinary consultation is needed.
