*i accidentally hit send befor I was finished with my response! Sorry* I would recommend taking Marley, and a sample of his urine in to the vet to be checked out. If he does have a urinsry tract infection he will need to be on antibiotics for at least a couple of weeks. Marley may have something going on that is less common as well such as a prostate infection or a specific type of blood disorder that can change the urine color called immune mediated hemolytic anemia. Your vet should be able to determine what is going on with a good physical exam and urine test. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck!

Discolored urine like you are describing most commonly is the result of a urinary tract infection. I would also be concerned about the potential of bladder stones if this has been going on for some time. I would recommend taking Marley and a sample of his urine in to the vet to be checked out.
