Brown wet patch

[maharvey83]

Hi, just come home to find this in my guinea pigs hutch. It’s about the size of my guinea pig and soaking wet. Both my guinea pigs bottoms look clean apart from a bit of yellow urine staining on my white guinea pigs tummy. Is this a concern? I don’t think it looks like blood but no idea what it is

Urine does turn brown when it reacts with oxygen so it’s likely that.

They have recently been on anti-biotics for a uti - could this be a cause if it?

Anitibitoics shouldn’t affect the colour of their pee. It’s likely because it’s been ‘exposed’ to the air.

Thank you both. So nothing alarming then?

It just looks like heavily oxidised pee to me? That is nothing to worry about.
