My rabbit's urine is sometimes red. Is this normal or a health concern?

[]

Answer

Red discoloration in a rabbit's urine can be alarming but isn't always a cause for panic. Often, it's due to pigments from certain plant materials in their diet, especially if they've eaten leafy greens, carrots, or other colorful vegetables. However, it can also indicate a urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or other serious health issues. If the redness persists, is accompanied by straining, pain, lethargy, or loss of appetite, a veterinary check-up is essential to rule out underlying conditions. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
