Oh dang... I wish I knew the answer for that. I'm not familiar with Sweet Beets so no idea if it would color his urine. I guess the best way to know is to stop feeding it and see if anything changes. Disregard my saying that it might be ok to give him a handful of grain! If his urine is off colored I wouldn't.
Is he straining when he pees? Here's a question for you? Would you feel comfortable doing something gross? I'm wondering if you could feel the hairs at the end of his pizzle and see if they feel gritty. That might give you an idea if he's passing "grit" in his urine. Have you been able to get him some ammonium chloride?
Oh - Just saw that you talked to the vet. Glad about that! When I'm trying to collect urine I tape a plastic cup to a light weight stick or piece of PVC pipe. That way you can stand back and still collect the sample.
Good luck! Hope the vet has some answers. You might ask about the ammonium chloride and get their opinion.
Good luck!
