I’m going to try to be as clear as possible…

My rabbit (named Bunny) has been stressed about recently moving 14 hours away. He’s gotten older (turning 8 this month) and we spent the last two years away at Grad school. He’s made the trip back and forth before, no issues, except he usually seems to get a bad attitude for a week or so just to punish me for making him take the drive. I think his age is starting to make things harder for him… Also, someone told me he is a he, but I want to let you guys know that he might really be a she. He’s not fixed, has never peed outside of his litter box, and has never mounted anything. So just putting this out there just in case it matters.

So we moved 14 hours away. This was two weeks ago.
Bunny was mad, but I set up his pen up in the living room with his toys like they always were.
The biggest difference is my boyfriend’s Pomeranian peed on Bun’s cage. I cleaned it up, but we had several times that this dog decided to do this. Very frustrating. When Bunny didn’t seem to get over his attitude from moving after one week, I decided to move him into the bedroom to be right next to me. He always has very little appetite after long trips, but it’s always back to normal after about a week. While in the living room, he only dropped poo pellets all outside of his litter. No urine anywhere. The poo pellets outside litter were territorial and normal for him.

When I was moving his things into the bedroom, I noticed the ammonia smell on a spot of his play mat… This hasn’t happened in all 8 years. Not once. I figured he was upset that the dog tried marking his cage, and decided to mark it too… But once all of his things were in the bedroom, I picked him up and realized he was covered in his own urine… The notorious ammonia smell. I then felt worried that something was terribly wrong, and that he had some incontinence. Once in the bedroom, his stress seemed to go down a lot. I was giving him wet veggies to bribe him into eating and getting more water. He began pooping again. But no urine. At all. He was also making a grinding noise (pain and stress sounding). We don’t have a rabbit vet near here, otherwise I would be at one. So I just kept watching him this past week, wet veggies, fresh water, some massage when he let’s me, but letting him reclaim his space. Grinding noise has stopped, but he’s sneezing a little bit. Poop is still becoming more normal. He’s peed very small amounts in his litter, but that shows improvement. He is hopping around and seems happier. Very relieving…. Until moments ago.

I left for the store, came back, and a lightly pinkish reddish puddle was on the floor…. I know the color might not be an alarm… But I was sort of just happy that he passed a more normal amount of urine… Although the color worries me a little… But when I wiped up the puddle, there was no smell. My rabbit has the rankest urine. And although urine that is odorless would be great… This pinkish puddle had no odor. While I was cleaning it, I locked him in his litter box, and he peed another normal amount in his litter box. That urine looked normal. I’m really so confused. He’s definitely doing better, but I’m wondering if there are other things I can check for? The odorless urine was weird. Could it be something besides urine? Maybe I should just continue to monitor while he gets back to his normal self?
