Managed to get one from Treacle this morning if I drop it in to the vets tomorrow morning I'll be really late for work on my first day back. Or i could take it in for afternoon surgery but then it might not get looked at till the next dayis thiat too long? :?
 
Yeah I think it is, I thought they had to be there within a few hours :? Certainly that was the case with my cat.
 
What are they testing it for?? If for infection you COULD keep the sample in the fridge :shock: :shock: (Believe me worse than wee has been stored in my Fridge :oops: :roll: :roll: ) and make sure you indicate this to the Vet when you drop the sample off. If the wee is being tested for glucose/protein etc a fresh (same day) sample would be needed. Shame you are not nearer as I have a brand new box of Diastix looking for a wee sample to be dipped in!! :wink: Jane and Buns xx
 
I have it in the fridge :D I think the vet was going to test it to see if his kidney problems had a bacterial cause, in which case it may be treatable. I've been trying to get the sample for ages but this is the first accident he's had that I've been able to syringe up! :lol:
 
Gees, ur good I would never be able to do that. I would be like...mum, dad, help! I'm trying to figure out what you've had in ur fridge thats worse???? Come on tell me!!!
