[RC] urine color - Suzanne Boyd

Jim,
Your guys' urine may be as clear as water(and that's good!), but I bet it is
straw in color. Straw is a very pale yellow.  In the clinical lab, we grade
the 'appearance ' of the urine( clear, cloudy, turbid, etc.) and the
'color'(colorless,straw, yellow, amber, red, etc.), plus the specific
gravity. The specific gravity of water is 1.000. The s.g. of normal urine is
1.003-1.035(in humans anyway). A constant s.g. of less than 1.007 indicates
a concentration problem. I bet your horses are just well-hydrated!

Suzanne( I bet ya'll didn't know you had a piss expert on board !!)
