Hi all, I have just found a some wee next to Obi's litter tray, he obviously missed the tray and it went over the side...anyway it's very red...and although I understand this can be normal, he hasn't had any carrot...or spinach, just his green grass hay, pellets and a little bit of alfalfa (because he loves it so much). Hopefully that's all ok....I need to take him to the vets as he's got quite a messy bottom and he won't let me clean him up....so I guess I could ask them to feel his tummy...he's eating and drinking fine, I would say he is drinking quite a lot at the moment and seems to be doing a lot of weeing....again hoping this is ok....sorry for long post....but every time I see that reddish wee I panic a bit! :?

Are there any bits in his wee, or just a different colour. Just a different colour is normal, it does look scary, but can happen and I remember calling the vet when I first spotted it with my girl years ago, and she told me it's normal unless there are actually bits in it, like clearish with red blobs in it.

if he's dirty aswell then that could be a cysitis sign. he could be drinking more to try and flush out his own bladder. i'd see what the vet thinks. the colour could be nothing to worry about, but with the other signs, i'd be concerned about possible cysitis/uti
