NOTE: I've already taken my rabbit to the vet, he's already been examined, diagnosed, etc. It was a new vet though, and I'm looking to see if anyone might know of any other causes.
Last night, I noticed blood in my rabbit's urine. It was very dark red, and it was like he was peeing blood (as opposed to urine mixed with blood). I watched him closely, he peed a few times throughout the night, and each time the redness started to fade, almost becoming pink.
The vet suggested he might have a bladder stone or bladder sludge, though she couldn't feel anything hard in his bladder. She said to watch him today, and if it keeps getting lighter, he should be fine. If it gets redder or more bloody, he'll have to get x-rays.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Did it turn out to be something else? Just looking for a second opinion, since this vet is new to me and I'm not too knowledgeable about this.
