My new bunny has slimy discharge. Is this normal? How to sex a rabbit?

That appears to be urine. The feces next to it appears normal. Rabbit urine can be cloudy and may range in color from white to red. If she is behaving normally otherwise, monitor for lethargy or loss of appetite. Since she is "new" to you, consider an exam with your veterinarian to confirm good health or to diagnose and treat any pre-existing conditions.

The photo is blurry but that looks like diarrhea/soft stool stuck on her fur. I suggest you take Cocaine to your vet for an exam. She likely needs treatment for this. It looks pretty significant. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hi and thank you for your question. With regards to the dark areas near his penis, theses are normal fatty secretions. You can clean them gently if you like. They are of no concern. As to the eye, this could be due to an upper respiratory infection and/or blockage of his tear duct. If it persists please take him to the vet as it will require treatment. Regards

Thanks for reaching out about Chloe and including pictures. By the photos, it is difficult to identify the discharge, but yellow nasal discharge is often an indication of a nasal infection. Try cleaning with a warm wet cloth, and monitor for sneezing and continued discharge. If discharge continues, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Fluffy and including a photo. Ocular secretions can become thicker and not drain through the lacrimal duct, when certain conditions arise. This could be an infection, dental disease (affecting drainage), stress and other problems. Continue to wipe the eye area with a moistened clear wash cloth. If worsens, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Remember, having your rabbit spayed is very important as rabbits have a high incidence of uterine neoplasia. Good luck.

What a cute bunny! From the photo the area on the skin looks as though it has healed- if there is a defect in the skin itself then an exam by the vet is recommended as he may need antibiotics. I cannot see any redness to his eyes in this photo, so I am not sure if you mean that his eye color is red or if he has red eye lids or the white of his eyes look red. If he is rubbing at his eyes/blinking alot, has excess tears or a green or yellow discharge from the eyes these would be cause for a vet exam as well. The red color to the urine can sometimes be a result of diet http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=18+1803&aid=2839. If he is not acting lethargic and is eating/drinking I would monitor the urine for a few days- if he becomes lethargic/is straining to pee/stops eating or drinking or the urine continues to look red then an exam is recommended.

You should always quarantine new bunnies for at least 2 weeks so they aren't in contact with your group. If she doesn't have a snotty nose or sneezing, it may not be infectious. It'd be best to have a vet check her out and potentially put her on eye medication for the runny eyes.
