typically vaccines and dewormers do not affected the urine at all. The darker the urine correlates to how concentrated it is. It indicates the kidneys are working and if the longer the urine is held, it can become darker than urinating frequently. If he is going regularly and not having any other issues I would continue to monitor further urinations to see if it clears.
