| Pee Not Yellow But Clear Hello everyone i have a Concern with Gigi she is 4months and weigh 2lbs she woke up this morning and went pee, but it was not yellow it was clear, just wondering if any one else has gone through this with their yorkies? The only thing i did different was changed her to home cooking instead of dry food

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I think that's correct. The lighter just means it's not as concentrated.

| Dry food has practically NO moisture...Homecooking is so much better for them and contains a lot more moisture which is good for them Very yellow urine is not a good thing.

| What everyone has said is true. The yellower the urine the worse off. When it is clear it just means that you baby is hydrated!! If it is deep golden yellow with a strong odor, then you should be worried. Other then that it just sounds like you are being a good, protective mommy!

| Urine should be a light yellow. Clear urine during the day is usually okay. If the first urine of the day is clear, then the kidneys may not be concentrating correctly and your vet needs to do a urine analysis to rule out renal failure.

| I wouldn't be concerned with clearer urine, but it shouldn't be clear all the time. It should be light yellow. Darker urine can indicate a problem, such as dehydration.

| Clear urine means she is drinking alot of water... which is good for her!! I asked my vet about that once when I had a litter of puppies and half of them had yellow urine and the other half had clear... they just said the clear urine puppies are drinking more water!!

| Sometimes urine looks clear but is really a light yellow which is common in puppies. Urine that is truly clear (like water) is not really a good thing. Clear urine can mean that the kidneys are not working (renal failure). Clear urine can also mean that they are drinking a lot of water, but drinking a lot of water can also mean that something is wrong. Clear urine during the day is not uncommon. But if their first urine of the day is clear, then a urine analysis should be done. If the first urine is too dark, then this could mean dehydration or liver problems (assuming medication is not the cause). Other things to look for in urine are sediment, a reddish brown color which indicates blood, or very cloudy indicating the presence of white blood cells.
