New foster bun not urinating u/d post 35 and question

Evan is lucky to have found a foster person who was vigilant enough to notice his symptoms so he could get the treatment he required to make a good recovery.
I am pleased Evan made it though his surgery and they identified the reason for his lack of urination. In my experience, bunnies who are not drinking enough will not much eat dry food (hay or pellets). He must be a pretty tough bunny. With you in his corner, I am confident Evan will make a full recovery.
Sending you and Evan loads of positive vibes for a bright and long future.

Thank you for confirming.
One of the first things I do when I have an ill bunny is give them sub Q fluids (if they have a low body temp I give slightly warmed fluids or very small quantities at a time). In my opinion fluids also helps to flush their organs/systems of any toxins being produced by bacteria, etc.

dear bunny momma,-wonderful,-we are the first line of defense for these magnificent animals,-recognizing illness is very much the key because prey animals instinctively hide their illnesses/pain-only to their demise.-good job,-bunny momma.. sincerely james waller from the other kent,wa.-usa
