Urine thick and clear

[KendallXx]

Hi there,

Im quite worried about my bunny.
I am booked in to the vets on Monday but worried that I should try to go sooner.

I only got her on Monday, she is a rex and I think she is 14 weeks.
When I got her she was mixed in with boys.

She seems a little thin expect for her belly which is quite around and large compared to the rest of her.
But today I noticed that she has (well I think its pee) thick sticky clear pee. and soft poo but not runny.
I think she is also grinding her teeth, she is making a ‘squeaking’ sound often but seems calm when doing it, she will be just sitting there making the noise then washes her face.
She is very quite when you pick her up but will run away from you before you pick her up. But also doesn’t seem to run around and play as much as my other rabbit does. She is drinking water from a dish and I have seem her eat some pellets and a bit of apple and a little bit of grass, but she didn’t seem to eat as much as my other rabbit. I put a hand full of grass in her cage and she didn’t eat it straight away, as with my other rabbit was trying to get it out of the cage to eat it.
I also have fed her some mixed lettuce (as my other rabbits eats this all the time).
She also has lost a little bit of hair from around where she pee’s but you can only notice it if you move the other hair away.

I have one other rabbit which iv had for 10 months and havnt had a problem.
Im getting worried that my new rabbit is sick.

Both my rabbit live inside and run around most of the time, but now I have put her in the cage to keep my other rabbit from bothering her.

I am worried that if I leave it until Monday she will get sicker.  Wondering if I should call the 24 hour vets.

Any help would be great thanks.

Could be bloat? Your rabbit is sick and the vet will diagnose her and will find out what’s wrong. As long as she is eating fine, you don’t have to call for an emergency. If her poo gets runny, please take her to the vet sooner and if she stops eating, immediately take her to the vet for an EMERGENCY! I hope your rabbit gets better. Bye, I wish good luck to you and you buns.

That she’s washing her face is good. A teeth grind sounds like a chatter.
How is she doing now?

Definitely clear colour? Not a clear yellow? When my rabbit had an intestinal isssue, he was passing clear, slightly frothy stuff along with watery fecal poop. It was like saliva. If you are seeing that, then I urge you to see vet sooner rather then later.
With her stomach feeling round, I wonder if she has intestinal parasites or bacterial affecting her?

ETA: Try collect some of her poo (soft and/or normal) before the appointment so they can do a fecal test.

Sending her some good health {{{vibes}}}.

I agree, it could be mucus due to an intestinal issue. As Jerseygirl said, she could have worms or some other parasite.
