It looks normal, but in the future if you are ever super worried you can put a puppy pee pad at the bottom of the litter box and then later see if there are abnormal deposits. Also a video on Youtube by Howcast that discusses normal vs. abnormal rabbit pee and poop!

I second what LBJ said!

My buns all have dark colored litter boxes and their pee also leaves this residue in-between box cleanings. 🙂 It definitely shows up more on dark surfaces.

Anytime! I’m glad I was able to ease any concerns you had.

Oh thank god it’s normal! And also thank you very much for always helping me! 💗

This looks like normal calcium deposits that remain after pee has dried. It becomes more apparent when they pee over and over in the same spot. It probably just looks more noticeable here because it’s on black plastic.

Hello!

Barring any of the serious possible health things leading to a stained bum that Bam mentioned, I wonder if it could be coming from his litter box? Sometimes buns just like to hang out in there, and white bunnies can occasionally have some discolored fur from it. You could try using some shredded paper bedding (the kind used for hamster…[Read more]

Has it been a long time since he was neutered? How old is he? Please tell us a little bit more about him!

Does he pee in “weird” spots, like outside his litterbox(es)? Small amounts of pee in many places? Have you seen him strain to pee or dribble pee a little here and there?

If he’s been neutered quite some time and he seems “incontinent” and…[Read more]

I’m so sorry you had to let him go, Mia. I’m glad you know in your head it was the right choice and the best choice for him. Our hearts work a bit different though, but I think you will know it in your heart too, eventually. It is a very, very difficult decision to have to make, and I think we all second-guess ourselves for a period…[Read more]

In my head I know I had to make the decision. I have no doubt. The last day was difficult to watch.

My body still feels all kinds of wrong. I volunteer at an animal clinic with the surgical side of things. I also feel very wrong when I have to watch them put a kitty to sleep. That’s a stranger kitty; this was my baby.

I’m sorry Mia. You had been struggling with him for so long. I think one problem we have as humans is we keep second guessing ourselves with this sort of thing. There is a lot of inner turmoil and uncertainty as we watch our elderly buns (or any pet) grow old and decline. We look for signs that it’s time to let them go… and signs they might…[Read more]

With the scoop vs pellets, the instructions suck!

I just guesstimated and give my 2lb bun 2 average pellet or one long pellet. I feel like one cannot overdose with it if just giving 1-2 additional pellets.

I cannot say if it helps but I gave it along with medication, both meloxicam and gabapentin. I could only give is via mushing it in CC or similar.

I’m not familiar with Myristol. It was discussed in this thread a little bit: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/joint-support-arthritis-prevention/

As far as serving size, would this not be 0.6 grams (based on what you provided)? Half of a serving would be 0.75 grams.

Oh yes, that’d explain it! Wonder how long he was like that.

Blood rushing from lying on his back too long? That might explain the stumbling.
