gel urine

Question
my rabbit has thick gel-like urine coming out, and her rear is often wet.  she
seems pretty happy, but not as litter box trained as her mate.  she sneezes
sometimes and there is evidence of loose stools.  thanks

Answer
Dear Mandi,

Gel-like urine is not very common.  Are you sure this is not mucus from her stool?  If so, this is a sign of enteritis, and she needs to be seen by a good rabbit vet ASAP.  If it really is urine that's gel-like, she needs veterinary attention to see if she has a urinary tract infection that could contribute to GI tract upset and loose stools, as explained here:

Sneezing also should be addressed:

so you'll need a good rabbit vet to help you:

Hope this helps.
