  Tonk’s is all wet on her butt. Does this mean something is wrong? She does not have runny poops or anything. She’s eating and drinking like normal. Is there something I should do?

  She may have accidentally sat in her pee? Is it sticky wet like pee would be, or is it just wet like water? My bunnies will sometimes be playing and end up with a back feet in their water dish, so maybe she bumped her water dish and it splashed on her? I would try to figure out if the wetness is just water, or if it seems to be something more than that.

  Touch it and smell it…If it’s just water, she maybe took a ‘dip’ in her water bowl. If it’s pee I’m not sure, but if it’s runny poo it’s time to go to the vet. My rule of thumb is if it’s enough runny poop to need a bum bath, it’s enough to need to go to the vet. But I’m not sure about pee…Rupert gets pee on his bum, because he has a crooked leg, so I just bathe his bum occasionally.
  You know, if I had to guess, it’s water from a ‘water crock’ incident though

  I had this problem with my Roo a few months ago. The doctor diagnosed her with bunny sludge which is an excess of calcium in the urine. It can be a congenital problem or it could be from eating too much calcium. We gave her SQ IV’s for about one month and it cleared up and haven’t had a problem since. She also began to pee all over her cage and her butt smelled from the urine. Hopefully this is not what your bunny has.
