Hi
The urine shades should be very similar to those on other bedding.
You may find this guide with pictures here helpful: Wiebke's Guide to Pees and Stones

what color is that?
Normal pee colour can be yellow depending on how it is concentrated, it can be milky with white depending on how much calcium is being excreted, and it will oxidize to an orange or rusty orange colour
If you have a look at the link in my first post, you'll find a range of pictures that demonstrate what is normal and what not. Seeing the shades will help you better than any description. The guides contain the detailed information, illustrations and how-to we cannot type out in full in every post, seeing that we are all doing this for free in our own free time.
Anything that is yellow, orange or rusty in tone is normal oxydation when exposed to the air and then drying on the bedding.

How long can guinea pigs live with an untreated UTI?

A UTI shouldn't not be left without treatment for any length of time at all. It is very painful and will not resolve by itself, it will just get worse.
Please take your pig to the vet ASAP if you think they have a UTI.

I agree - a UTI should not be left untreated. If you suspect a UTI asap, particularly if you think it has been brewing for a while (in case it is actually stones also).
If you suspect a UTI please get your piggy checked by a vet asap. If it is a UTI or stones it won’t go away on its own. What symptoms is your piggy displaying?
I can see you’ve previously asked about the colour the urine should be and have been linked to the relevant guides. So I have merged the threads and changed the title to keep the info all in one place to help us to help you with this issue.
