My older rabbit is drinking a lot more water and peeing frequently. Is this normal aging?

[]

Answer

Increased thirst and urination in an older rabbit are not typical signs of normal aging and should be investigated. These symptoms could indicate several health problems, including kidney disease, diabetes, or a urinary tract infection. Rabbits are adept at hiding illness, so any noticeable change in habits warrants veterinary attention. Prompt diagnosis can help manage the condition and improve your rabbit's quality of life. Keep track of how much water they are consuming and the frequency of urination before your consultation. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance, but a physical exam is often required.
