In this photo, is this piggie wee ok? When it dries, it goes lighter, more creamy colour. He's had antibiotics for suspected UTI, but no infection present now in his urine, & no crystals, & no bladder stones either.

Hi, I am really not sure. I think it is due to the colour of the fleece that I cannot tell if it is unusual. It is good that there is no infection present and even better news that there are no bladder stones/crystals. All I would say is keep an eye on him and if you have any concerns see your vet.
 
Urine oxidises when air hits it and it will change its colour, it makes it go a rusty orange colour, but of course how you view it is going to be different depending on the surface it is drying into, plus it is also going to look different on a picture where the light may not help.
