don't laugh !!!

[BabyDuke]

Ok so we have to take Duke back to the vet on Saturday .. remember he had the stomach bug last week ( he is much better ! ).. anyway when he was there they drew blood, told us all looked good but his blood sugar was a little high.. the vet thinks it was because he was dehydrated but wants to recheck just to be sure.. In any case he told us to bring a urine sample?? please don't laugh but does anyone have any tips on how the heck I am going to do this??????

I'm actually interested in how you are going to do this too!
Hope all checks out well with Duke!

You may want to try a pee pad, but have him go on the back portion of the pad, NOT the absorbant part. Then you may be able to pour whatever you get into a cup to take to the vet. I only know b/c my boys were trained on pee pads and many times they've peed on the wrong side and there have been little puddles of pee. Just my 2 cents!

Great idea cali baker! Hope it works and really hope Duke is ok! *sending hugs*

 

[BabyDuke]

thanks!!! that is a good idea.. I can just see this now! I think he is ok, the vet really thinks it was a little high because he was up all night getting sick and was dehydrated..

the things we do for our bullies!!

i always let the vet do it... honestly they stick a tube in there and bam done...takes about 30 seconds.

i had the worst experience. they told me that i needed to bring in urine sample from sumo from her first pee of the day!!! and i had to let it run a little before i went to get the sample. so early in the morning i got up with plastic gloves on and got in there. it was NOT pretty. Thank goodness for those gloves!

 

[BabyDuke]

oh my goodness.. this is too funny! I guess there really is no easy way to do it ! ha ha

God that would be hard!! I was thinking maybe stick a bowl-pan under him, (Vegas pees like a girl) but I know the minute I would do that he would pinch it off. I am glad I have never had to do this, I would be asking the same question!!

I had to do this with Bella. I did it just like [MENTION=900]KMARINO[/MENTION] said: when the dog squats down, slide a low edged bowl underneath. Works like a charm

Okay good so Brutus isnt alone at this! I dont think he will ever learn to lift the leg

[MENTION=2091]BabyDuke[/MENTION] I agree either the pee pee pad or using a bowel. Good Luck to Duke

the upside down pee pad works best of all. I've never trusted with the doctor goes in to get it. That could introduce extra bacteria into the urinary tract.

I always just used a plastic bowl... slid it under him when he squatted -- then it was trashed.
