        Hi, all. Is it normal to find a tiny bit of dried calcium (?) left over when a puddle of rabbit pee dries up? I read that it is normal, as rabbits have calcium in their urine. It doesn’t look like bladder sludge. I’m being especially cautious since Bunny just had a bladder stone surgically removed. Also, is there anything that I can feed him — besides watching what kinds of greens he eats — that can minimize the risk of this happening again? My vet suggested pineapple/pineapple juice to help keep his urine more acidic, but he wants nothing to do with either of them. Apparently the pineapple juice, the vet said, doesn’t mess with a bunny’s intestinal flora …

         Thanks so much.

          Typically, I wouldn’t be too worried about a small amount of calcium in the urine, but since your bunny recently had a stone removed, it’s a bit more worrisome. The good thing is, he is urinating the calcium out, so it’s not staying in his bladder, but it also means he might be getting a bit too much calcium in his diet. Although stones are mostly a genetic thing, calcium can play a role in their formation, so lower calcium intake the best you can(I think you already have), but after that I think it should be ok if he is having occasional calcium deposits, atleast it’s not staying in her bladder.
