[Jemma]

I honestly don't know what's going on. the vet left me a message stating Jemma's kidney count came back high. What actually was high, I don't know.
In hr message she said it could be a common infection or she could be dehydrated, huh? I will admit Jemma use to like her water but since being on the Raw prey diet, water is almost of the past for her. Anyway she asked that I bring in a urine sample. WHAT??? How the heck to you get a 4 pound pup not to squalt low so you can catch her stream, like yea, Jemma's gonna let me do that.
Called the vet and they said yes, it can be difficult, bring her in today and we'll get it.
I hang up laughing thinking they think they are getting it? Hmmmm, then I started thinking. They aren't gonna wait all night for her to go pee. So I thought they must use a cath. Nope. I called back and asked them if they use a cath. No, they take her in the back and do a ultra sound to locate the bladder THEN THEY INSERT A NEEDLE THRU HER STOMACH!!!! Yes I'm screaming here.
I said, come again? I said that sure as hell is gonna hurt her. Do you sedate? No.
OMG my friends I feel terrible for Jemma. I hope it is a small infection that can be cleared quickly. But I just can't imagine the pain my baby is gonna feel with this
Prayers my friends for Jemma
