My rabbit's urine is suddenly bright orange. Is that okay?

[]

Answer

While sometimes alarming, orange or reddish urine in rabbits can often be normal and is typically due to pigments from certain plants or vegetables in their diet, or simply oxidation of plant constituents. However, it can also indicate a more serious issue like blood in the urine due to bladder stones, a urinary tract infection, or kidney problems. Observe your rabbit for any other symptoms like straining to urinate, pain, lethargy, or loss of appetite. If you see any other symptoms or the color persists, a vet visit is recommended to rule out medical issues. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
