Rainbow Pee

[s]

Hello! I'm posting to inquire about urine colour.

Daewoo has been peeing many colours recently. An interesting mix of the normal yellow, orange, brown, pink and even purple. His pee is never reddish in colour so at this point I don't think it's blood. He's had some pinkish and orangish pee before but it's not usually as persistent.

So, yes, I'm wondering what could be the cause of his rainbow Pee.

Recently we got some new apple sticks which are quite dark in colour. That could be one thing. He doesn't eat dried beet or anything which is actually pink. He sometimes has some other dried veg and recently has had ribwort a bit more than before.

If his pee was just a bit pink I might ignore it but some if it was quite purple today! A mystery.

Anyway, if you could let me know your thoughts they would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you!

Its possibly the bark in the apple sticks that's causing the pinkish colour, probably the brown as well.

I don't think there's anything to worry about as long as he's peeing, pooing, eating and drinking normally, but as always, if anything changes, consult your vet.

I agree - the wee often reflects what they've been eating, especially fresh stuff. We've had members panic after letting their guys eat beetroot before! The only other colour you haven't seen yet is white. That is just their bodies flushing excess calcium and nothing to worry about either.
