Sick Bunny?

Question
I'm not quite sure if it is urine or feces, but my pet Lopped eared rabbit will have a white thick discharge, I think that it may be urine but not sure.  She continues to have regular bowel movements.

Answer
Dear Angie,

Fecal matter is usually not white unless there is mucus in the intestine, which can signify inflammation of the intestinal lining.  If the white matter dries to a powder, then you're likely seeing calcium salts being excreted in the urine, which is normal.

If you are not sure, then please get bun to a good rabbit vet for a full exam:

and try to bring a sample of the discharge with you so the vet can examine it person.  Since I can't see it, I cannot be sure what it is without more information.  Please also see:

Hope this helps.
