Hi Bertie has seen the vet a few times in the past cos of red or dark wee..nad its sometimes been cos of carrots but not a,ways and soemtimes hes the only one whos done it and theyve all eaten the same. willows done some in the past as has bandit and still odes everynow and then as did bif.....but bertie got the blame
I always presumed its either a wee problem or dietary caused...
on a site last night they said bunnies under a lot of stress do it..and you know it makes sense.....it ties in well.
berties been a bit stressed since unbonding with bif..more than when they were all bonding...he does a lot of dark wees and a fair amount of lemon suahs colured wees...
bandit does those too but dark spots when hes had a scary day..for a nervy but nosey and friendly bun thats at leastonce a day! hes bene known to pee himself iwth fright or over ecitement bless him.
Have any of you who have buns whove done these horrible dark wees without medical causes noticed any stress related issues in your bun at the time?
just curious.
the site i was on...
THE APPEARANCE OF RABBIT URINE:
Urine from normal rabbits usually contains large amounts of a light-colored sediment and may appear abnormal to the uninitiated. The color of normal rabbit urine varies from white, to yellow- white, to light brown. Rabbits that drink large quantities of water tend to produce clearer urine containing less sediment.
Rabbits that have been recently treated with antibiotics and those undergoing significant stress may temporarily produce urine that is orange or red-tinged. Such urine can be differentiated from that which accompanies urinary tract infections or uterine bleeding by use of a urinalysis, performed by a veterinarian.
