I would be guessing seeing as most urine is not good for your health, that rabbit urine is just the same. I would be very worried about your mental health if you are contemplating whether to drink rabbit urine or not. Please, do not DRINK!

What color is guinea-pigs wee?

Normal rabbit urine can range from clear or very pale yellow, to bright orangey-red, to dark reddish-brown. Some rabbits are more prone to reddish urine than others. Reddish urine can be caused by a variety of factors, such as: - how much water the rabbit drank that day - the weather - antibiotics - something the rabbit ate (pigments in the food - e.g. carrots, spinach) Rabbit urine sometimes looks chalky, and it evaporates to leave a dry chalky residue. This is normal: it's how the rabbit gets rid of extra calcium in the body. But if the urine is pasty and thick and mustard-coloured, this is not normal: it's "urine sludge," and the rabbit needs to see a vet. Rabbits, like humans, have dark-coloured urine when they're dehydrated. If you think your rabbit is dehydrated, make sure it has a ready supply of clean, fresh, cool water. Some rabbits prefer a bottle over a bowl, or vice versa, so you might need to cater to their preferences just to keep them hydrated. Observe your rabbit for other signs of ill health and if you think your rabbit is sick, bring it to the vet. Red urine doesn't necessarily indicate blood in the urine. Often, when there's blood in the urine, you can't even see it. One way to make sure the urine isn't bloody is to have the rabbit pee on a white towel: if the colour is evenly distributed throughout the wetness, it's not blood; if the red is splotchy or gathered in one or two places, it could be blood - you should bring the rabbit to a vet to find out for sure.


My bunny has a brownish discharge is that bad?

Yes, it is bad if your rabbit has a brownish discharge. If your rabbit has a brownish discharge, it is sick and you should bring it to the vet. See the related questions below for more info and links. A discharge of any colour, from anywhere on a rabbit's body, is a sign of illness, and the rabbit should see a vet with experience and training in rabbits. Normal, healthy feces are solid, brown balls. Normal urine is liquid (not at all thick) -- it could be clear or pale yellow, or it could be reddish, orangish, or dark brownish -- these are all healthy and normal. A thickish brownish discharge from the genitals could be something called "urine sludge," which is not healthy and, without treatment, could lead to serious problems.


I have two bunnies but the other day one of them started to pee and when i picked the bunny i saw that in the pee there was blood. This had never happend befor is this normal?

It's not normal for a rabbit to have blood in its pee. There might be lots of reasons why your rabbit has blood in its pee: urinary tract infection, ovarian cancer, or an injury (maybe the other rabbit hurt him somehow down there), or something else.Sometimes rabbits have orange, brown, or red-coloured urine, and it doesn't mean there's any blood. Rabbit urine can range in colour for many reasons, like dehydration (always make sure rabbits have access to water changed fresh every day; if the rabbit isn't drinking, that's a problem), or something stressful happening to the rabbit, or different foods the rabbit eats (like if you feed it too many carrots), etc.If your rabbit has bright or dark-coloured urine, you should look for other signs of ill-health in your bunny, and learn about how to care for rabbits to make sure you're doing the right things.If you think the rabbit might be sick (including possible blood in the urine), the best thing to do is go to a veterinary doctor who has experience and knowledge treating rabbits. See the related questions below for details.


What does it mean when a rabbit's urine is red?

It is very unlikely that there is something wrong with your rabbit. Actually, buns pee orange/red for little reason. It could be because of the winter, something in the food or, at times, it's just a color. Even when you feed two buns the same food, one might pee orange while the other one doesn't. More information is available on http://www.blurtit.com/q850680.htmlRabbits' urine varies in color from clear to yellow to brown to bright red. This is usually not a cause for alarm unless there are additional signs, such as sitting and straining to urinate, loss of appetite or a temperature. When you see red urine, don't panic; just keep your eyes open for other signs that may indicate a problem.The red color will usually be gone in a day or two but can last for a much longer time. Actual blood in the urine would look like urine with red specks. If you're in doubt, don't risk your bunny's health -- have your vet test for blood in the urine.You can have 20 different rabbits in your barn and feed them all the same things. One rabbits pee could be a creamy yellow and the others a bright orange. It is just the different pigmentation factors in each individual animals kidney's.

What is calcium for a rabbit?

Rabbits need calcium in their diet just like the rest of us, but they don't need very much of it (especially grown adults). When rabbits have too much calcium in their bodies, they get rid of it in their urine. Sometimes, a rabbit's urine looks a little cloudy and/or leaves a white powder residue after its dried -- this is a normal way for rabbits to excrete their excess calcium. However, if the urine is thick, the consistency of toothpaste, and the colour of mustard (dark yellow), then your rabbit has "urine sludge" and needs to see a vet with experience and knowledge in how to treat rabbits. Urine sludge can lead to serious health complications. If you see your rabbit straining to urinate, and not urinating successfully, this can also be a sign of urine sludge, or bladder stones (another consequence of too much calcium in the rabbit's body), and the rabbit should see the vet. If a rabbit has problems with calcium, it might be related to a calcium-rich diet, or it may be genetic -- either way, the rabbit needs professional help. See the related questions below for more help about rabbit health and medical care.

Is it bad if your rabbit has red feet?

Yes, it is bad if your rabbit has red feet. Consulting a vet is always the best answer since people online can not see your bunny. They might be red from sore hocks (irritated feet and heels, including bleeding). Or maybe the fur is stained red because the urine is red -- orangey-red urine is not necessarily bad, but if the urine is always that colour, and/or if the rabbit isn't cleaning its feet, that could indicate a problem. Maybe they're red because the wire in your cage is rusty -- that can lead to injury and isn't comfortable for the rabbit, so you should fix the rabbit's habitat. Maybe they're red because of a fungus of some kind. If your rabbit's feet are red, you must determine the cause and then fix the problem -- very likely, you need the help of a vet. See the related questions below for more information and links.


Bad delegation example in health care?

If you are asking if bad delegation choices are made in health care, the answer is yes. If you are asking for an example of bad delegation in health care the answer is mulitudinous...how about telling a nurse aide to check the amount of urine in a bed pan and using their answer to decide if you are going to medicate a patient?
