Hello,

I apologize that no one has responded to your question sooner. Different experts come online at various times. I just came online and saw your question. If possible, a photo would be helpful. You can upload a photo by clicking on REPLY, then at the top of the area where you would type is a tool bar with icons. Click on the little paper clip icon (it's right next to the YouTube icon). Instructions will pop up. On some browsers, this doesn't work. if that happens, you can put your photo on one of the free photo sharing websites, such as www.photobucket.com. Then come back here and paste the link to your picture in a REPLY.

If a photo isn't possible, give me some further description. Are the red spots swollen?

Are they on either side of the anus?

Is anything oozing from them?

Do they seem to bother your rabbit?

Thank you.

Anna

Those are the rabbit's scent glands. Both sexes have them. The scent glands can become infected or develop other conditions, but if they aren't bothering your rabbit, and there is no discharge, everything is probably perfectly normal. If you have more questions, let me know by clicking on REPLY.
