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

[]

Answer

Rabbit urine color can vary significantly, from clear yellow to dark orange-red, and often changes based on their diet. Plant pigments, particularly those found in carrots and dark leafy greens, can cause a reddish tint which is usually harmless. However, true blood in the urine is a serious concern, often indicating a urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or kidney issues. If the urine is consistently dark, thick, or cloudy, or your rabbit shows signs of pain, straining, or lethargy, a vet visit is needed. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
