Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

To get a wee sample from my boy, I separated him from his friend (but they could see each other all the time and go up to each other through the bars) and put just hay in the litter tray overnight, as wee runs through it. Luckily he wees loads so I could just scoop out the hay and poo in the morning and syringe the wee up. If she doesnt wee a lot, maybe youd be better getting the vet to give you the cat litter they give out that doesnt absorb anything, for when they need samples.
at the moment not 100% sure, shes has urine infections for months, so now im thinking its something more, hense the wee sample, i might but her in the bathroom with just a plain litter tray and no paper or hay or metazorb, for afew hours, and see if she will go in the plain one, if that dosen't work i'll try the hay idea!
My Inca gets this from time to time, she suffers from Urinary Tract Infections. A course of antibiotics, cleaning and cream like fusciderm, sudocrem or similar should clear it up in a few days
Wee soul x
yh this is what matilda has, but its constant at the moment! like incontinence :/ and yh we have fusciderm cream
xBear in mind often tests for urinary infections can come back as a false negative.
Good luck!

What antibiotics is she getting? Initially Inca had Baytril but was not shifting it, so we gave her 10 days of Ceporex injections and it cleared right up. She gets flare ups from time to time and we just give her the ceporex for a bit and she gets better for a while. Might be an option?
Will be much easier to manage her now that she has been shaved. I need to keep Inca's fur really short at her back end to keep her totally clean.
meloxidyl and marbocyl
