My Dutch rabbit Maple is now 8 and has recently been in and out of the vets as she wasn't pooing and getting really clogged in her tummy. This has been an ongoing issue that comes and goes (usually because of heavy moulting and ingesting too much fur we believe) but this time it got really bad.
Thankfully she has come out the other side and we have totally changed her diet, we didn't realise we had been giving her too much calcium with her greens and treats. During one of the many vet visits they mentioned they could feel a lump in her bladder which we presume to be a bladder stone (the vet says it feels smaller since we changed her diet) but at 8 I don't want to put her through surgery to confirm what the lump is. She has had surgery twice in her short life and she doesn't recover well.
She has now started weeing way more than she was, we would say excessive to before which ive read can be caused by bladder stones. She is eating, drinking and running about totally fine, just weeing more than normal.
Does anyone have bunnys living with bladder stones? Any advice? i guess i just wanted to speak to people with similar situations as no one i know are bunny people!
