Valuable
information is contained in your pet's urine. Following are some
things a urine specimen can tell us about your pet:
Kidney
Function - A urine sample can indirectly tell your doctor how well
your pet's kidneys are working.
Diabetes
Liver
Disease
Urinary
Tract Infections
Bladder
Cancer or Bladder Stones - In some cases, suspicious cells can be
seen giving an early warning sign to bladder problems.
Nutrition
- A urine sample can help you doctor make recommendations about your
pet's diet.
The reason
we take time to mention this is that the above is valuable information to
you and your pet. As a screening test, the urinalysis is very
inexpensive and is easy to obtain. You may bring your pet in for
urinalysis or you can come by and pickup a urine collection kit and obtain
a sample at home.
