So little benji I took in had a mucky bum, i assumed it was from his dirty cage at his previous owners over the weekend he had large soft poos with mucus so I rang the vets monday and explained thecsituation and she said it could be a combination of the move and diet change (it was a sudden change as no real hand over food) and she sàid give him a hay only diet, the poos are definitely improving but I just got in from work and his tail and soggy are quite wet, im thinking it's wee although he didnt smell and theres no wee on the floor were hes sitting but his water bowl is too deep edged for him to stick his bum in, hes got a vets apoointment tomoro at 9am as a possible castration and health check but has anyone any ideas on why tge sudden wet bum?
 
Could be a Urinary Tract Infection or the onset of symptoms pertaining to Encephalitozoon Cuniculi (EC) to name two possibilities.

Hopefully your Vet will be able to determine what is going on when he/she examines him. Good luck
 
The vet did a proper thorough check all over and in his mouth and has given benji some fiberplex paste to be given 3 timescacday, we need him to gain weight tho before he can be castrated
 
Did he have a lot of space before? Maybe he's so used to sitting in his wee that he doesn't bother to move after he's done it?
 
Bless him. Did your vet rule out a UTI?

I guess by watching him you may see if he wees himself and then stays sitting in it. Is he litter trained as he shouldn't have a wet bum if he is sitting in his litter tray with hay and litter as it absorbs most of it.

Well done for getting him out of there, I hope he ends up being a healthy little rabbit.
