If so, a urinalysis would be a good test to help determine what is going on with her. If the urinalysis comes back positive for infection and/or crystals, then an xray and an ultrasound of the abdomin would also be a good thing to check the kidneys, bladder, liver and gallbladder. A Bile Acid Test would be good to do too.
and who does these things? A vet, right?
