My vet is gone for the day but hopefully you can shed some light on this: My 4 week old kitty took a flying leap off the loft of my house lastnight about 12ft. she landed on her feet. I thought for sure she had broken something but everything is fine. She is playing,eating, drinking water but then she tee tee and it was arust brown color with a hint of yellow could this be bleeding internally or just bruising. She just tee teed again(in the litter box) and it was still the same color. Do I need to be worried. She is on some medicine for 1 week because she has coccinia(the parasite) could that change her urine?

poor thing! The medication can change the color of her urine and is most likely what is going on here. As far as internal bleeding goes, you would notice her in pain and is unlikly that you would see a change in her urine like that immediatly (my kittens urine was dark green for 4 days while being on medication)

I dont think you have anything to be worried about right now, if she develops anymore symtoms then I would make appt.

Otherwise, if everything is ok I would bring it up w/ the vet during the follow-up exam.
