Onana & Lukaku
Warren Scout
Today I would be very grateful for your advice again - and take the occasion to wish you all a very happy and most of all hoppy new year:
My rabbit Onana (born November 18, male, neutered) is a super litter tray user. While his partner Lukaku isn't so keen on his, he uses the tray all the time. Yesterday night, when coming home, however, I noticed small amounts of wee on a plastic house (the rabbits live in my office, they each have a cage, which is always open), which he likes laying and eating on. Later I also noticed some in one of the food bowls, which is highly unusual. To make matters worse, the wee was rather dark in colour, kind of orange. Onana otherwise seems fine, eats, hops and has also made poo and wee in his tray. He doesn't seem to be in pain. This morning there was no more wee elsewhere but in the tray.
What should I do?
Onana is a very easily stressed rabbit, he hates his transport box, he hates car rides and he hates our (very nice) vet. After each vet visit, I have problems to get him back to his normal happy self - and every time I am scared that he could stop eating as happened once before. I therefore would love not to take him to the vet, but just wait and see if it happens again. (I work in that office, so can observe him all day). Is that safe? Or too risky? Is there anything I can do myself to help him if he has some minor ailment with his bladder?
Thank you in advance for any advice and experience.
