My baby wild rabbit isn't peeing for days. Is dark urine concerning?

I am very sorry to hear about Pineapple. He could be having lack of urination due to dehydration. Baby rabbits are notoriously difficult to rehabilitate and I would strongly advise contacting a local licensed wildlife rehabilitator to take this bunny for his best chance of survival! You can look at http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/find-a-wildlife-rehabilitator.html to try to find one near you.

Thanks for reaching out about Punnu and including a photo. A urinary tract infection or obstruction, renal disease or other conditions should be considered. Is he drinking? A veterinary visit is recommended ASAP. Don't wait too long as this could be serious. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about your rabbit. It is not a kitten and kitten replacer often causes gastrointestinal upset. A veterinary clinic or wildlife rehabilitation society should be contacted as soon as possible for assistance. Try to keep water intact high to stave off dehydration. Clean the rectal area and remove feces to prevent re-ingestion. good luck.

A rabbit as young as Orro should still be with his mother. Bunnies should not be separated until they are at least 8 weeks of age. They will start nibbling solid food at 2 weeks of age but still require mother's milk and nursing. Orro should be examined by a veterinarian experienced in treating rabbits to make sue there is no illness or injury.

Usually orange or red urine in rabbits is due to plant pigment dicolouring it, especially beta carotene from carrots, so this is likely why the urine is orange. This is not so concerning but not drinking is. The bunny may be anxious following the death of its friend or could be sick with gut stasis or something else. Considering what happened to the other rabbit I would have this one checked over by the vet asap. Not drinking could quickly lead to dehydration and is a sign something serious is going on.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Montana. Dark urine can be normal in some rabbits as a result of their diet. Carrots and spinach in particular can discolor the urine. It is always a good idea to have her seen by a veterinarian and a urine sample tested. I hope this information helps!

Hello, and thank you for your question. Bunny urine usually oxidizes the longer it is exposed to air, so it is normal for it to turn a shade of orange-pink as in the photo. However, if you notice she is urinating in unusual spots, or if she is acting off or eating or pooping less, then I would recommend seeking veterinary attention. It may be related to a urinary tract infection, bladder stones or crystals. In the meantime, ensure that Rose drinks plenty of water which will keep her urinating and flushing out any infection or crystals out of her bladder. You can do this by providing her usual green leafy veggies soaked in water for a few minutes before giving them to her. I hope this helps, and that Rose is well!
