Hi.

Nothing to be seriously concerned about, but it could indicate poor fluid intake, and possibly even a urinary tract infection (UTI), which will have to be confirmed using a urine analysis and/or a urine culture report to confirm. Once a confirmation is made, antibiotic coverage should help sort the issue.

Best wishes.
