Thanks that's useful. Vet did mention they could refer us to a specialist but it's a really long way away so I wasn't keen on stressing them in the car so much. But I could ask if they will phone them and ask for advice. That's a better idea.
I'm not sure about urinary problems. She does wee near but outside the litter tray sometimes. Especially when she's poorly. But if I had gas I wouldn't want to hop into a tray for a wee.
There's no spotting and I've never seen blood.
Pretty sure she's not got sludge.
I'll pop a picture of her wee on here for you [emoji6]
What else might I look for. She's does drink more water than Archie but she eats more too.

There is a bit of calcium deposit in the wee, but it's not a huge amount. Rabbits excrete excess dietary calcium in their wee. I am just wondering if the 'straining' is due to bladder pain (cystitis) and that any GI tract issue (the gas) is a secondary symptom.
I'd certainly flag it up to your Vet. He/She will be able to palpate your Rabbit's bladder, feeling for any signs of tenderness/thickening/sludge/stones. A urine test may be useful.
