  My rabbit has been on a 10 day course of antibiotics. After being off of them for about 24 hours I heard her banging her front paws against her litter box. In the morning I pick her up and she’s soaked, from her bum and all the way up to her chest and front legs. The pee was thicker and white and it’s left her fur matted. She won’t leave her litter box and keeps trying to groom it off. We tried with a damp cloth but it was literally all over her.
  
  Has anyone experienced this? It could be the antibiotics leaving her system or a sign of too much calcium (during her illness we were just happy if she ate so she’s been eating mostly pellets and not much hay).
  
  Any tips for bathing? She’s had a fever so Im worried about getting her too wet. We would do a bum bath (low water). Should we blow dry her afterwards?

  Aww, poor baby. Could it be bladder sludge? I would wipe her belly with a damp cloth, then a dry cloth. The blow dryer might be too scary for your bun? Call your vet and ask if the antibiotics could have caused this. You may have to take her/him back in.

  I’ve used a blow dryer on my buns. It seems many buns like it. Ruffle the fur you’re blowing on with one hand while you hold the blowdryer with the other so you know exactly how warm it gets. Just so it doesn’t get too hot.
