Why just because i do not agree with your way of thinking? What you do is working for you and what i do is working for me doesn't mean either is right or wrong. Your dogs are yours and my dogs are mine so feel free to do what you want to with yours and I will with mine. You are not reading what i wrote. I get FREE SYRINGES AND BOTTLES FROM THE VET AND THEY ARE STERILE. Key word FREE. would it make you feel better if i removed the word Sterile ? Last edited by dwerten; 05-30-2010 at 08:38 PM. | |

I've heard some people say they use a soup ladle to catch pee. It's all the same. Catch it in anything that you want and put it into any kind of container. I'm not even talking about my dog or your dog. What I am trying to point out to you is that this is not a sterile catch. Only a cysto would be a sterile catch if that was what the aim for the urinalysis needed to be. I'm not even arguing the necessity of a cysto. Quote:

and it was not my vet as my vet wanted to do it. It was internal medicine specialist who has further education than a vet and Dr jean dodds who gets shipped urine from all over the world to test so I think she knows a little bit about it since she has been doing it for 40 years so not like i am coming up with this on my own if you can come up with something those two professionals have not come up with i would be happy to listen as i prefer to provide the best care for my dogs since i go to mostly specialists now and what i do not care about is a little extra bacteria big deal why do they not put a needle in human bladders to test us for urinalysis and why did you do a free catch below?

| Let me explain something to you. I have a background in the OR, when to school and learned sterile technique so that when you (as a human) comes into an OR for surgery there is a sterile protocol that is followed and adhered to. I could name all the bones in your body as I removed them one at a time~you know why? Because I was part of an organ procurment team. lolololllllll So please do not talk to me like I am uneducated moron! Your lack of basic knowledge is just ridiculous to someone who actually UNDERSTAND and can interpreter basic medical termonology! What is your medical background other then google?

| Jean just emailed me so I asked her again about cysto and here is her response. Yep she emailed me at 10:13 on a Sunday night. How many in the profession do that? Passion Dear Deb: Purists say a cysto is “cleaner”, but mid-stream free catch is nearly always equivalent. Best Jean |

I honestly do not care what people do. All I want people to know is that cystos are sometimes the best choice for the test being done. And a mid stream sample is not necessarily a bad thing. It is just not a sterile technique. There may be vets that don't like cystos, but many do and the labs that run these samples recommend them (and again, not all vets make money off of them, so it isn't a money thing). I understand some are uncomfortable, but that shouldn't translate into making people feel like they are never necessary.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Cystocentesis is done for a few reasons but we'll stick with just urinalysis'. If a UTI is suspected, a urinalysis and culture and sensitivity should be done. The C/S is best done from a sterile sample and the culture should be taken from a fresh, non-refrigerated sample. SO the only way to do this is by cysto. Free catch samples do contain a lot more bacteria, not only from the non-sterile container/pee pad/floor/whatever it is collected from, but from the lower urinary tract system. the urine that goes thru the urethra and out of the penis/vagina is not an accurate representation of what is in the bladder. When a cysto is done and a culture is taken any bacteria found on the petri dish is significant. everything used to take the sample was sterile therefore there was no contamination (unless there is a human error which is possible). sterile syringe with sterile needle -> sterile prep site ->sterile sample -> sterile culture swab -> sterile petri dish. When a free catch is done there will be bacteria in it, and there could be multiple kinds of bacteria. its hard to say what bacteria came from within the bladder and how much of it was in the bladder if any. Also, urine samples that are taken at home by free-catch and refrigerated can change by the time they get to the vet. refrigeration can cause glucose levels to drop, crystals to dissolve, clarity changes, and cell disintegration.

We all do not have to agree and that is fine but I feel strongly about my opinion and will voice it just as you feel strongly about yours so people can hear both sides of the equation and not feel pressured to either side. Each owner should hear both sides and make an educated decision for their pet. We can all agree to disagree at this point as you are not changing my mind and I am not changing yours. These are long time specialists I deal with not someone that just came out of vet school being told to do something in school a certain way. | |
