  Hey guys, I took my bunny to get spayed a month ago, the vet called and told me that there’s no uterus.. she could’ve been spayed before I got her, or she was born that way..
  
  after the surgery she started to pee outside of the litter box.. she was well trained before, and it’s not a hormonal thing since she doesn’t have a uterus.. what could be the reason?
  
  also she had pinworms and her second dose will be after tomorrow if that has anything to do with this behavior..
  
  and she’s under weight.. i increased her pellets but her pee has become cloudy and i’m worried about her getting sludge..
  
  last thing, she’s my first so i don’t really know how much pee is normal, but when she pees alot comes out is that okay?

  How old is she? Are they sure she’s a girl?
  
  As for the peeing… hmm, did they send her home with pain meds?

  She’s 8 months now, yes she is a girl.. she has nipples..
  
  it’s been a month since the surgery and she’s healed now..
  
  first two weeks after the surgery she was peeing in her litter box, then after two weeks I took her to the vet for a check up and she peed on me, after that the vet said that she’s okay and i can let her play outside of the cage, she played and peed outside two times, we went to a hotel last week, on the way she peed on my mom, and there she peed on the bed even though her litter box was beside her..

  I don’t know the circumstances surrounding how she came to you, but considering her age, it is unlikely she is already spayed. Unless she came from a shelter, of course. They tend to spay rabbits young so they can get them adopted ASAP.
  
  Going with the assumption that she simply doesn’t have a uterus, this isn’t completely unheard of. Rarely, rabbits can be “underdeveloped”. Or… they can be intersex, which happens more often than people think.
  
  I’m curious about the peeing. Does she seem like she is able to hold it? Or does it seem more intentional? Sometimes a spay surgery can injure the muscles/nerves down there which can lead to incontinence. Assuming this is more “intentional”, perhaps there is still something there that the vet missed? The presence of ovary (or testicular) tissue = hormones = hormonal behavior (e.g. territorial marking).
  
  Fun fact: Despite what many websites say online, male rabbits actually do have nipples. They are just very, very small and flat and difficult to identify under all that fur.
