    Default Possible uti??

    I got peanut on march 31. Her pee used to be clear and Oder-less. Now it has a bit of Oder and is a light yellow. I have been reading about the symptoms etc. she doesn’t Have problems peeing, she never has pee on her when I bring her out to eat, she isn’t peeing blood, she doesn’t act like it hurts to pee, her poop is normal, she’s super active and eating fine. When I got her her eyes weren’t opened. On April 7th she opened her eyes and has been growing great since. Her tail is getting Poofy she’s gotten a lot bigger and for the most part seems very healthy. This is my first squirrel so I’m not sure if this could be a uti or not. I had her on esbilac and I’m currently transitioning her to fox valley 20/50.

    An odor is not necessarily an indication of a urine infection, with what you describe I personally don't see an indication of a UTI.
    Just as with humans, urine color can change due to certain foods, fluids, or a lack of hydration among other things. It may well
    be a result from her formula. You could offer her some extra hydration (water) in-between her normal formula feedings to help
    flush her system.
