Normal urine pH in a rabbit is 8 or more. If it&#8217;s neutral or acidic, this is abnormal and can indicate metabolic acidosis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Specific gravity of rabbit urine has a wide normal reference range, and can vary from 1.003-1.036.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Plant pigments can cause the urine to appear orange-red. This should be distinguished from true haematuria on dipstick or microscopy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo reference:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harcourt-brown.co.uk\/media\/images\/urogenital\/normal-rabbit-urine\/view\">Normal rabbit urine \u2014 Frances Harcourt-Brown<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urinalysis is an important part of a minimum database in rabbits and can provide a multitude of information regarding the health of the rabbit.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[21,38,44],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4243,"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493\/revisions\/4243"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fetchwebsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
