  Hi, I’m looking for some advice as I’m literally at breaking point with my buns. We have had Smudge for two years and we bonded him with Pud a 1 year on. They are both neutered. They are absolutely in love, they are inseparable. Since we got Pud, Smudge has always had accidents but now they are very regular and as they are house bunnies we can’t let them have full run anymore which is really sad. They have two massive litter trays, we have tried everything I can think of. Smudge is about 5 years old and we have been told he might have some kidney issues but he is happy/eating/drinking.
  
  Any words of wisdom would be super useful. Thank you!

  There are treatments for “kidney issues”, it just depends on what the cause is (kidney/bladder stones, EC, etc.). Did the vet say anything else? Does he have any other symptoms?

  Vet kind of made us think it was just ‘old age’ but no generally he’s very happy, eating lots of hay and greens. He drinks a lot of water which Apprently is a sign of kidney issues. It’s almost like he’s lost control of his bladder 🙁

  Hmm… I would suggest having him assessed further to see if you can get to the real cause of this. If he has kidney or bladder stones, there are therapies for that (fluids, diet changes, etc.). If he has a UTI, then you can treat with an antibiotic. If he has EC, then you can treat with Panacur. We have seen some urinary incontinence-only EC cases here on the forum, so it isn’t unheard of.

  I agree this sounds like a medical issue. 5 years is too young for it to be “old age” related. I would get a second opinion if you can, and possibly treat for EC as a precaution if other issues are ruled out.

  Thank you! I am going to ring my vet again today and try and get some answers. They just keep on putting him on antibiotics and he hates them. Hopefully they will do some more investigation this time. Thanks for your help!
