Rabbit strains when pees

[LoveMyRabbit0910]

Ok, I realize I worry about a lot of things when it comes to my bunny. But I love him so much, and I keep hearing everywhere that rabbits can get sick and die so quickly. I'd rather be safe than sorry.



I've been noticing lately that Elvis has been straining to pee a lot. Looks like he strains 3 or 4 times before it comes out. What does that mean? Does he have a urinary problem? I've been looking it up on google & haven't found very much information on it.



Thanks for any responses. It's appreciated so much!

That is a symptom of a uti (urinary tract infection) easily cured w/ antibiotics. I'd get him to the vet for antibiotics soon as you can.

Here's a link from the Library on the issue:

Keep us posted! Best of luck to you and the poor bun.

Thank you for the response! I've been so concerned about him.

Sounds like a trip to the vet for confirmation and antibiotics.

How is it going? Were you able to see a vet yet?
