Over the past 5 days or so, Minnie has taken to peeing indoors, pretty frequently. This is very abnormal behavior for her. Before this, she would only pee indoors once in a great while if it was raining hard for many hours, and that would be a lot of pee in one place. This is small amounts anywhere, several times a day regardless of the weather. My wife and I suspect some sort of urinary tract or bladder infection. What we have of her Vet history before we got her shows that she has had these type infections a few other times.
I called the vet to make an appointment, and as I suspected, they need a urine sample. Their advice: carry a small bowl and follow her around. When she squats to pee, stick the bowl under her real quick and catch as much urine as we can.
Needless to say, this sounds difficult, time-consuming, and likely to fail.
Anyone had to get a urine sample from their girl hound?
Any succesful strategies would be most welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Paul
