| 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. |
