My rabbit's urine is suddenly reddish-orange. Is this normal or a cause for concern?

[]

Answer

Reddish-orange urine in rabbits is often caused by pigments in their diet (e.g., carrots, dark leafy greens) and is usually harmless. However, it can also be a sign of blood in the urine, which indicates a serious underlying issue like a urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or uterine problems in females. Monitor your rabbit closely for other symptoms such as straining to urinate, pain, lethargy, or loss of appetite. If you observe any of these, or if the discoloration persists for more than a day or two, a veterinary check-up is recommended. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
