My buck peed red urine. Today was the first day I noticed it, though he was penned up all day yesterday due to a heavy rainfall and I cant really see the color of the urine in the pen because of the hay on the bottom.He is about 3.5 to 4 months old. He gets bottle fed milk once a day now. We are in the process of weaning. He also eats alfalfa hay and a little bit of grain. He is not a fan of the grain. They also free range out and eat leaves and some plants. I noticed his red urine today. He doesnt seem to be having difficulty urinating but he did strain a bit when he pooed and his poo is clumped together. I did feed him water through the bottle today and last night. Could that be the cause of his red urine. I will stop feeding water from a bottle. HE doent seem to be drinking on his own from the bucket though. I pulled his skin and it snapped back so he isnt dehydrated? Might he have a urinary stone? OR is it the bottle? How can I treat this? I put some acv with the mother in the bucket of water but I dont know if he will drink it. Oh he also had a few oranges yesterday. I know oranges are not bad but when they are free ranging they have access to an orange tree and he ate quite a few. How many oranges is too many.
Any advice or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
