This is Bunny, a 3 year old female sterilized rabbit who came to see me because her owner noticed that she was drinking and urinating a lot, that she no longer had appetite and that she had been adopting an abnormal position for 2 to 3 days.

On general examination, I found her to be dehydrated. She was soiled with urine between the hind legs and she presented intense pain when palpating the abdomen on the left and right. Her intestinal transit was reduced. Her body temperature was normal. Examination of her teeth showed no abnormalities.

The blood test indicated a slight increase in urea and a significant rise in creatinine. The x-ray showed large bilateral renal lithiasis. I hospitalized her and put her on a drip with supportive treatment, low-calcium diet and Reno Pro™.

The rabbit is seen regularly for a blood check once a month and the kidney values are quite stable.
