| Urine sample Freyja has been licking her bottom and peeing more frequently. I brought her to the vet and they wanted a urine sample. How do you get a urine sample from a yorkie? Any suggestions welcome. Patti & Freyja |

| I use a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup. Since it has a little handle, it's easy to slip underneath Lady when she starts to go. I know a few people who use a ladle, but the handle being straight up was harder for me. |

| You can follow them with a measuring cup or ladle and try to catch it or some people tip a pee pad over (plastic up) and have them pee on that and then empty it into a cup. That gives bacteria a good chance to mix with the urine though. It is best to have the vet take it (possibly cystocentesis) or catching it midstream (with a cup or whatever) isn't too bad.
