It's possible that the discoloration is from the tail-end of Ripley's heat cycle, however, if the spots continue for more than a day or so, or you begin to see other issues such as more frequent urination, cloudy urine, straining to go (squatting a lot with small amounts, etc), or other more systemic symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, changes in appetite, etc, it's a good idea to get Ripley into your vet to rule out any other issues such as a urinary tract infection.
