Why does my spayed rabbit have discharge after failed URI treatment?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | spayed | 6 lbs

My rabbit was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and she was put on a couple antibiotics but they didn’t work. She has white nasal discharge and has discharge from her eyes. She now has white discharge coming from her vagina. She is eating, drinking and going to the bathroom normally, and she has been spayed.

Thanks for reaching out about Chloe. Not all antibiotics work on all bacteria. Were any diagnostics performed? A bacterial culture will help identify the bacteria and to which antibiotics it is sensitive. Could the vaginal discharge be from the urinary tract? Calcium sludge is common if feed too much green vegetables or alfalfa hay. A re-visit to the veterinarian is recommended, a confirmed diagnosis will aid in a treatment plan. Good luck.
