Mysterious Pain

[BinkieBox]

Every few months, Ever since he was a baby, our rabbit has sudden pain. He is 2 y old. He suddenly starts rubbing his bottom or stomach area on the ground or flops and looks very uncomfortable. And just sits there, doesnt eat or drink.
And he suddenly starts peeing in random places on the carpet.
After around 4-5h he is fine again. Every time we take him to the vet then they say his tummy seems fine. We only got painkiller for these cases ,but we dont even need them often.. It just disappears again...but not sure if he d need an x ray and if there's something wrong with his bladder maybe. Sometimes I feel he may be better after peeing a few times.but I dont know for sure. We checked his diet and toys etc.

He is an indoor rabbit

Has the Vet suggested diagnostics including a full blood profile, urinalysis and an abdominal X-ray ?

Is your Buck castrated and if so did the problem start before or after castration ?

Is his poop output normal, no soft wet fecal poop or strange oval elongated poop ?

No, he hasn't suggested the first few things.. but the abdominal x ray thing I'd find helpful.I just dont know if anything can be seen on it while he's fine.
He's neutered and he got neutered at the age of 5 months I think. And his poops are always OK.


The urine analysis also sounds something that could maybe help. Sometimes I dont know if there might be too much calcium in the urine. The cloudy urine thing but I dont know why. He gets a bit of parsley and broccoli nearly daily. Sometimes coriander. He gets No Sugar pellets and different Hays.sometimes a piece of apple as a treat.

Are you in the U.K. ? I know that in some Countries access to an Exotics Specialist Vet is not possible. But if you could seek out an Exotics Vet I think that would be a good idea. Hypercalciuria is a possibility which an Exotics Vet could fully investigate
