Doe - white/red/creamy "urine"

[UK-backyardbunnies]

The hopefully-pregnant doe I moved into a cage yesterday, this morning has an area of urine/discharge/liquid. She has been on deep litter previously so I haven't seen anything similar from her before.

The liquid is a fairly thick/creamy, white tinged with red.

Any ideas??

No sign of kits etc (thinking birth or miscarriage) - unless she ate the results??

She's eaten this morning and water bottle hadn't run out.

It's probably just pee. I've seen just about every colour of rabbit pee under the un, and the first few times I freaked out, because it was red or orange, looked like blood, or looked like pus. Keep an eye on her, and she'll be fine!

Its most likely urine

I wouldn't be worried with that urine either. Does anyone know what causes some urine to be reddish brown, to creamy white, to a more regular yellowish? I thought I heard to much protein makes the reddish. Not sure.

While at the show recently, my buck Boss peed in every imaginable color...from blood-red to creamy white and EVERY SHADE OF YELLOW AND ORANGE IN BETWEEN. I was worried, until a friend reassured me it's fine. He's been healthy as a very chunky horse so yeah...probably just pee.

I think rabbits sometimes like to pee in scary colors just to freak their humans out.

Somebody on here had a rabbit pee purple once. :shock:

Purple? Wow...
Maybe I should feed her beetroot for a couple of days to see....

Thanks for the reassurances

Rabbits pee rainbows. Unless it's very chunky or actual blood, don't even notice.
White usually means too much calcium.

Rabbit urine is going to be very concentrated--differing levels of the 'solids' that the kidneys filter out will affect consistency and color-- and MANY smaller animals, the urine willl turn red when it gets cold out-- just look at all the 'bloody urine' threads that have been generated over the years!!!

Yeah, when we had the blizzard a couple of weeks ago, there were all colors of the yellow to red pee under my cages in the new snow

I was probably the one that posted about purple pee... and blue and green! The cottontails around her seem to pee a rainbow... and whenever there is fresh snow it is all too obvious. I speculate the green/blue/purple was from eating wild grapes and vines from under the snow.
