She was very wet and stained (hay?) underneath. The Vet wasn't sure what is wrong with her and thought it best to have her in overnight. She was eating as normal earlier. Does anyone have any ideas what it might be?

Is the vet going to test her urine while she's in? Could it be a UTI?

Sending her lots of vibes and hoping that the vet can establish what the problem is.

Hello Omi. Yes they are going to test her urine - I wondered about a UTI. I also noticed she has lost some weight.

I'm sorry tonibun. What a worry :(

Yes, if they test her urine (hope they get a sample) then that will be one more bit of the jigsaw.

It could also be to do with bladder sludge or even E.C. related.
 
Sending lots of vibes. As suggested, start with a urine test then move onto the more complex things xx

Poor Bunny, I hope the Vet will establish the cause of her apparent incontinence/soiling and get her onto some treatment that will help xx
 
Back home with Edna and Fibreplex. I have to monitor her - they thought it was more like soft poohs than urine. She eats lots of hay though. I have noticed the odd misshaped pooh in their litter tray just recently and wondered which one it was, as she lives with Tigger, so maybe it is in connection with that. She is very bright in herself. Thanks for your replies.

Awwwww poor girlie. Did the Vet mention any possible cause of her poo trouble ? Dental problems maybe ? Not sure how old she is but if a Rabbit has any arthritic problems it can make it difficult to keep themselves clean.

Most rabbits like Fibreplex and I hope Edna does, and that it works for her :)

Is she moulting at the moment?
