We
have a 2 year old un-neutered dwarf rabbit.
We have found her urine to be very dark
orange, and lately darker still, almost
blood - like. She seems healthy as usual.
Could this be blood, and have something to
do with her being un-neutered, or is she
sick? (Lawrence Monk, UK)
Rabbit
urine varies in color from clear to bright red, and this is not usually a cause
for concern unless accompanied by other symptoms, such as straining to urinate
or loss of appetite.
Be observant and keep your eyes open for other signs that
might indicate a problem. If you are in doubt, or you think you can actually see
traces of blood in the urine, please consult your vet.
