Orange membrane is the thin white fibrous layer around the fruit segments. It is not usually as risky as the peel or seeds, but it is less appealing and often harder to digest than the soft flesh.
Some pets may tolerate a small amount along with the flesh, while others do better if it is removed. In general, soft peeled flesh is the simpler part to feed.
If you want the gentlest option, remove as much tough membrane as practical before serving orange.
