lol and this dog is a boy and she caught it directly in the cup which dang that is good not sure how but i am impressed so not sure how contaminated her catch was and dogs clean themselves loll not sure how good but they do. Some raw feeders believe licking wounds is healing and allow their spay dogs to lick the wound and it healed fast like my friend did with her maltese so there are different beliefs holistic vs modern medicine out there when it comes to cleanliness in dogs.
I just feel people have the right to do what is comfortable to them and she is obviously not comfortable and this is a tiny dog with a tiny bladder.
The heart of the issue is the protein count on food is extremely high thus triggering this issue and the bigger issue is does this dog have liver disease as we know most vets are not real up on mvd/liver shunt. So i think the next place to check is blood work as maybe ann can look at what she posted about urine as sounds like no infection present as neg wbc ? Protein is extremely high though but no crystals in urine. Ann what are your thoughts on the urinalysis she posted?
Op please tell your vet the percentage of protein you are feeding in case he did not ask as that will give the vet more info he needs
I will always post my opinion only I am not a vet and going to put that in my siggy too lollll so everyone knows it. I will always post what i would do with my own dogs and leave the owner options if there are any. Sometimes there are not options for the owner but in this case i believe there is and the owner needs to do what she feels she is comfortable with and should not be pressured into doing something just because she is told to do so when there are other options available
