Brandi won't pee for the vet!!

[yavenay]

Brandi has been at the vet's office since 8:30 this morning . The reason why?????? Because she won't pee for the vet. Brandi has recurring uti's and she was scheduled for a a urine sample to make sure the anti-biotics are working. Miss thing must of gone potty early this morning because when I got to the vet......nothing dry as a bone.

So the vet suggested to let Brandi stay for a few hours to see if they get a urine sample.......nothing. It is now 2:00 and she still not has pottied even though she ate and drank water before we left for the vet's office this morning. . I am about to go to the vet's office (only about 7 miles from my house) and walk her until she potties. We go through this everytime she has to give a urine sample. As soon as I stick the tray under her while she pottys, she cuts it off or she won't potty at all.

Why is she doing this to me??????? The grass is wet so she really isn't going to potty now. The vet says she tried to get a urine sample but that her bladder was empty. Little stinker.

My vet has me use a long handled ladle, with a dowel taped to it so I don't have to bend over.

Have Brandi drink water. It works for humans. Try taking a portable water bottle with you for Brandi.

I have had that happen many times with mine. The Vet can place a needle in her bladder and get urine that way. I have had to have that done a few times. They just make sure the bladder is full. It has never once hurt my babies having this done. They may have to do this for Brandi,
