 pink urine? Yesterday morning I heard Atticus breathing strangely,like raspy gasping.  I scooped him up and put him on my lap and couldn't see anything. After a few minutes he began to breathe normally. Soon afterward, I found a that Atticus had been chewing (destroying) a pencil. Also yesterday, he got a hold of some very small cranberry colored tree ornaments and chewed them up. His paws were pink from the dye. Yesterday afternoon after both episodes I noticed a pink tinge to his urine. We use pads. This morning his urine was the same pink color. Now I'm supposing that what I'm looking at is blood in his urine. Although I'm not sure. He could have swallowed bits from both the pencil and the tree ornament. He seems normal otherwise. Anything I should be looking for? Should I take him to the vet right away? |

 Sounds like it's probably a UTI, but get that baby to the vet ASAP! |

 Hi, I would have the vet look into it. I could be the dye, or it could be a uti. I am hoping for a good outcome. :thumbup: |

 I talked to the vet. We'll be heading there shortly. Meanwhile they asked if I could get a urine sample. I turned his pee pad over and waited. He was a good boy and went for me and his urine is not pink. It is orange. very orange. Our appt is in an hour. :( |

 Just got back from the vet. They have no definitive answer. We'll now blood and urine results in the morning. I'm worried but not too much because other than the orange color of his pee, Atticus is acting quite normally. |

 Glad to hear you've been to the vet and he is acting normally-good news! It could just be the dye, but could also be an infection. Better to have him checked out when in doubt! Let us know how he's doing when you hear. |
