The urine could be yellow due to dehydration, infection or inflammation. Your veterinarian will likely recommend lab work (CBC, chemistry panel, urinalysis) as well as abdominal x-rays. Any treatment will depend on the diagnosis. If she is behaving normally, she can wait to see your vet. If she is lethargic, painful or cannot urinate, then have her seen sooner.
