It can be a sign of an issue starting. Keep an eye on her and have a chat with your vet

have you noticed any yelping or low wheeking when the pig is urinating or pooing?a good way to find out, is to do about 15 minutes of lap time, and then put the pig back, they normally urinate as soon as you put them back in the cage, then you can look out. This works for me

I will check how she is in the morning and update you on how she is, if there is any more pink pee or something else seems of I will call the vet <3

she seems fine, eating well hasnt lost any weight since yesterday, I have yet to check if her pee is still pink.

one thing I noticed yesterday is that her belly is a bit bigger than usual and a tiny bit hard but not very hard.

Hard belly is something to keep a very close eye on. Please see your vet for your concerns
