Poor Pugsley... :(

[rae18]

Okay, so my rabbit Pugsley just came back from my cousin's house.. She was bunnie-sitting him for a week while was on vacation... She is very trustwrthy and used o hae bunnies too.. Anyway, he won't use hs litterbox now and appears to be peeing on himself.. He also is breathing strangly.. It sounds like he has a stuffy nose or he is allergic to something.. Please help!!

Thanks,
rae18

*Pugsley is a three year old mini lop/mini rex.. I havent noticed anything else wrong.. He still eats and drinks and goes to the bathroom a normal amount...

Well the peeing on himself doesn't seem like a prob. with his breathing. Is the pee always on him? Like is he standing and peeing (which goes onto his fur ) or is he sitting in his pee? Is the pee different (color, smell)

When they get stressed, like being at a bunny-sitter or otherwise being without their human, they're more prone to infection.

He could be leaking urine from a UTI and also have a related URI - respiratory infection.

I'd get him to a vet right away.

Yes, I'm afraid he needs a vet visit.

Did your cousin have both rabbits?

Either way, they probably should be separated immediately until you find out if it's something contagious.

Yes, let's hope it's something easily fixed.:nurse:
