Orange pee - Bladder stone?

[HeatherLouWho]

Hi, all. I have noticed that my Asa has been drinking a lot of water lately, and his pee is orange. I have not changed food, hay, or bedding. Could this be a bladder stone or kidney stone?

We have recently moved overseas, and I don't want to do the "new vet in a strange country where I only speak a little of the language" thing if I don't have to, but definitely WILL if there is a need.

Thank you.

Orange/red pee is normal. Sometimes people mistake it for blood but it's generally just urine.

The "new" water may taste better, making him drink more.

Drinking more water can sometimes be a sign of an illness such as a UTI or diabetes as well. I would continue to monitor him for any other symptoms and make a vet visit should you notice any.

tunes, ticklechin, Stackie:

Thank you so much for your responses. He is otherwise his usual bouncy, naughty self. I may just be expecting something to go wrong.

I will definitely keep an eye on him, and if he has any other symptoms, I will call the vet.

Thanks again!
