I have a single male, aged 15 months, neutered at around 13 months. We didn’t do the op earlier because it wasn't necessary; he hadn’t been spraying or showing the usual distress of hormonally charged rabbits. Shortly after he turned a year old, within a matter of days he seemed to lose most of his toilet training – though he still urinated in his tray virtually 100% of the time.
He then almost immediately got better re: the litter tray with his droppings, but since then has taken to urinating outside the tray maybe a couple of times a week.
What’s so odd is that it only seems to happen when he’s especially happy, e.g., just been petted until he’s tooth-purring with bliss, or we’ve just spent a lot of time with him. It’s not spraying as such, just a damp patch left behind, of varying sizes from essentially large droplets to a wet spot as large as his entire bottom. He have also noticed that it’s *usually* but not always in a spot he frequents, making us think of territoriality.
He seems otherwise healthy, fit, and happy. If anything he’s grown even more loving towards us since the op.
It’s a real head scratcher. Any ideas?
