My rabbit's urine is suddenly orange-red. Is this an emergency?

[]

Answer

Orange-red urine in rabbits is often due to pigments from certain vegetables like carrots or dark leafy greens and is usually harmless. However, it can also indicate blood in the urine, which is a serious concern. Evaluate your rabbit for other signs of distress such as pain, straining to urinate, or lethargy. If there are any other symptoms or you are concerned, a veterinary check-up is recommended to rule out urinary tract infections or bladder stones. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
