Orange thick urine ok?

[babymor81]

Notice cookie's urine has turned into kind of a orange carrot color and thick not watery .. I may be imagining it but he seems to be a little lethargic Poop is usual. Eating drinking is ok.

Am I too paranoid ? The only recent thing I did was a powder bath ( product from pet shop ).

It sounds normal to me. When you say lethargic do you mean very relaxed? Depends on what time of the day you were observing. Most rabbits spend the day relaxing and sleeping and are more playful early morning and late evening.

It sounds fine to me..My bunnies occationally have orangish urine and there's not been an issue.

Sounds fine. Rabbit urine can be pretty much anything from white to rust red, with every shade of orange/yellow in between, and liquid to slightly thick (about the consistency of cream is the thickest I've seen it).

You do have to be cautious when it's thick and dark, it's a sign of dehydration.

If it smells, that's another sign.

The powder may not be agreeing with her, or she's stressed.

Why did she need a bath?

I'd start trying to get her to drink more fluids, maybe set down a little crock with some well-diluted juice. Syringe some if need be.

Watch for dribbling or straining to pee.

If she's still lethargic tomorrow, I'd get her to a vet.
