Pink Pee?

[mollypeters]

My goat is having pinkish colored pee. I have never seen this before, and I only noticed it because we just got snow and can now see where they're peeing. I thought it was the pygmy we just got, because she was on a steady diet of horse treats, which were pink, but now i'm pretty sure it's my milker, Diana. Anybody know what gives?!

I would begin with taking her temp. If she has any kind of infection she should also have a temp.
I have never noticed pink pee before.
Please keep us posted with what you find out.

thanks alsea1! Now....how do I temp a goat? rectal, I'm guessing?

Yes, rectal.

Normal temperature is 102 to 103 give or take a half degree.

Do keep us posted, please and thank you.

I follow someone who had a lamb get pink pee and it was a UTI. I dont know if its the same in goats but its something i would look into
