Baytril cause orange wee?

Hiya

One of the girls has been producing orange wee for a few days now. Molly started her baytril 10 days ago, but I'm still wondering if it's here. I've looked at their bums, and there is no sign of orange wee on either of them. I know it's not too much of a worry (there's no blood spots) but I would like to know the cause. They do not have any fruit or veg so no colouring from there. They are both fine in themselves.
 
Have they had dandelions? they sometimes cause it.
I believe there is also a link with stress or illness: Tippex Porkychicken had it after her spay, and also when she was recovering from e.c.
I have not come across it happening after baytril, but I'm not sure.
 
Funny you should mention dandelions as they have had a fair few recently. They have either a few daisies or dandelion heads daily, so maybe that's the cause.
 
Here is an article on "Red Urine" from the HRS, on the so named colored pee going from yellow, orange, brown etc due to vegetal pigments containing beta carotene found in most green leaves vegs.. but also during certain antibiotics treatments : Chloe my rabbit has permanent orange-fluo urine due to her pellets which we found contained additiona beta-carotene:
