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

[]

Answer

Orange or red urine in rabbits can sometimes be due to pigments from certain foods, like carrots or leafy greens, and isn't always a cause for alarm. However, it can also indicate a serious health issue such as urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or kidney problems. If you notice any other symptoms like straining to urinate, lethargy, loss of appetite, or pain, it warrants immediate veterinary attention. It's always best to err on the side of caution and have it checked to rule out serious conditions. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
