Over the past two or three weeks Muffin's skin color has changed to a slate grey. She has also been excessively panting, drinking and urinating quite a bit. She's too young for Cushing's Disease or so I think. So, this morning I carted all my furbabies down to the Veterinarian to check on what may be going on with her. The Veterinarian wants to check for a UTI before proceeding with more extensive testing and wanted me to leave her at the office to be placed in a cage until she went.
NOT HAPPENING!!! So, here I am with a specimen cup trying to figure out how does one "catch" a urine sample.
I've tried aluminum foil under her bottom and she literally runs and hides. I know she has to go because she keeps heading for the doggie door that I have closed off to try and "catch" the sample. I'm at witts end... ANY suggestions short of taking her back to jail so to speak would be greatly appreciated.
