  Long story short, my bunny started getting pee ALL OVER his bottom, even above his tail and like near his feet. He also started peeing RIGHT next to the litter box, and before we’ve never had a problem with any of this. He’s partly white, and even then he’s always kept himself super duper clean, but recently things have just started to go downhill. I was wondering, does anyone know what might be the problem?? He’s my first bunny and I love him to death, I wasn’t sure if these are symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection, or what. He is going to the vet in about two weeks for his 6 month check-up, but i wanted to know if i should take him in sooner than that.
  
  Thank you that’s my speech.

  Especially if this is a relatively new and rapid development, I think going sooner would be better.
  
  Peeing all over himself and not being able to keep up with the mess is a concerning sign that something abnormal is happening. One thing I am concerned about is the development of urine scald if the underlying problem is not identified. You can read more about it here: https://www.houserabbitga.com/rabbit-urine-scald#:~:text=A%20rabbit%20suffering%20from%20urinary,contact%20with%20her%20delicate%20skin.
  
  How is his appetite and poops looking during this time?

  He’s completely fine otherwise!! He eats normally, and everything is completely normal. I was concerned because he is normally so clean, despite him being partly white.

  This made me get flash backs to one of my rabbits. She was clean one week and the next she had urine all over her rear end. She was also acting normal too like eating a pooping good it was just her dirty messy bottom. It turned out it was a ecuniculi symptom. Please take your bunny to a bunny savvy vet as soon as you can just to be safe.

  @Cassie my brain went to EC as well. I agree that this is def worth a visit to a bun savvy vet.
