QUESTION: Im so afraid I just saw a red line in a drop of pee.  It looks like blood.  actually it might have been a line of plastic but still.


Answer
She is on antibiotics right?  Porphyrin is also found in the urinary tract and the uterus (which is how they get it from birth) and so if she isnt well, she would probably be having some porphyrin staining there too. If it is blood it may be a urinary tract infection but as long as she is on the meds she should get better.
