Our vet says it indicates possible infection, so we’re going on from that. Yes, it was an early morning sample, but she goes outside at night also; recently she started the habit of going to poop around 3AM so she pees then as well.
Her symptoms are very ambiguous, I had the urinalysis done really on a feeling.
Urinalysis yesterday; seems issue has resolved. Specific gravity not as high as she typically has but 1.038. Rest is clean. So it looks like it was just UTI after all. Best disguised UTI I could imagine.
Hello!! Well, let’s see.. I in general do not use the stick information for too much other than the glucose, ketones, bilirubin, and pH. The rest of the info is far more accurate if read under the microscope. I want to see white blood cells, red blood cells, and bacteria, casts, cells on the urine sediment under the microscope, and not read it on the stick. By the numbers listed above there the RBCs (red blood cells) and the WBCs (white blood cells) are within normal ranges. But the specific gravity is a little lower than it should be. Especially… Read more »
