holland lop's question about Kidney Failure

Question

Hi! I have recently noticed an increase in thrist from my rabbit therefore causing him to urinate much more. He started drinking 500 mL in 24 hours and now is up to 750 mL per day. I have taken him to the vet and they checked his urine, blood and took an x-ray and everything was normal. Do you have any idea what it could be? This is really starting to stress me out and I'm unsure what to do.

Accepted Answer

Thirst can increase due to various factors e.g. heat, exercise, salty food, excessive dry food consumption etc.
I would want to ensure your bunny is eating lots of fresh grass and hay.
It is a relief investigations have been normal so far but as the water consumption has increased it may be worth repeating the tests or seeking advice from a rabbit specialist.
