If your bunny's urine is milky/cloudy, that means she has more calcium in her diet than her body can use. The underlying cause is consuming too much alfalfa hay or pellets. If you are feeding alfalfa hay or pellets I suggest you stop feeding that and switch to timothy or orchard grass hay (or a combination thereof). Hay should make up the majority of the diet and she should be getting very little pellets. I don't know what brand of diet you are feeding but I suggest you use Oxbow: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/oxbow-14-oz-simple-reward-timothy-treat https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/oxbow-2-oz-smple-rewards-cranberry Hope this helps. Best wishes.

    That looks like Bum Bum has quite a bit of bladder sludge. This can be due to a few different things. The most common is a diet too high in calcium. If you are feeding alfalfa hay or alfalfa based pellets this could be the issue. I suggest you refer to this article and I strongly recommend you get Bum Bum's urine checked out by a vet.
