        I feel like such a bad bunny mom! One of my babies has arthritis so bad…and now Dizzie has a leaky butt! I noticed the issue with Dizzie when she left a little brown wet spot on my carpet a few days ago…and then here and there I found another one. Sometimes I noticed the liquid comes out with her cecotropes, but she doesnt always eat them. I got up this morning and there was a few dried spots on the rug in her room and a dried spot on her floor. As of yesterday, I put a hold on giving her veggies and just gave her a small amount of pellets and unlimited hay. She had some small spots, but they were still there. Today I am only giving her hay in hopes that her tummy will “regulate” itself and she will feel better. I will take her to  the vet if need be, but it really stresses her out, so i didnt want to if i didnt have to. I havent changed anything in her pellets or veggies. She gets fresh water everyday and treats here and there.

        A little background on Dizzie… I got her from a rescue where they took very good care of her, but they didnt know much about her history, as she was left on their doorstep in a box. Shortly after getting her, she started to get some diarrhea (not like the leaky butt) so i took her into the vet where they completely examined her….teeth and all. She got a clean bill of health and was put on an all hay diet for a few weeks. She eventually got better and has been good ever since…until now.

        Should I take my little Dizzie-kins to the vet??

          It sounds like it could be bladder sludge or a urinary tract infection to me.

            How do you treat that??

              Both are normally treated with antibiotics. Sludge can be more difficult to treat and that just depends on how severe it is. But normally both are treated initially with antibiotics.

                  Definitely bring Dizzie in with you when you go. Calling the vet is the wise choice.

                    We have an appointment for monday morning, first thing. That was the earliest we could get in and I really dont trust anyone else anymore. i’m so lucky to have found such a great vet!
                    She didnt have leaky butt yesterday, but overnight, she pooed outside her box (which definately isnt like her)…so I know theres something wrong. I gave her lots of hay so hopefully she will munch on that. I also spread blankets out so she has a soft and nice place to sleep. (not that “princess spoiled rotten” has to sleep on hard cold floor…she has a squishy foam floor) She is still zooming and binkying and doing her little twisties, so that gives me hope….but she doesnt scarf down her food like she normally does…so again, i know there is something wrong. shes so cute though…i am very trusting of her now and she hasnt let me down, so i have been bringing her into bed with me at night to snuggle. she climbs into my lap and makes herself comfortable and gets all the loving a little bunny needs from her mommy and daddy!
