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 yellowish-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.
