Many people in the field seem to call it the liquid gold, because of the diagnostic value :-)<br /><br />Well, I think actually getting a urine sample isn't THAT hard. Getting it actually into a jar ... that'd be another story :-)<br /><br />Did Ace's urinalysis confirm the diagnosis?

I would think it would be hard to get a urine sample from some dogs! I'm glad Ace is a squatter. He has his urine tested in March when he was sick with pneumonia and we were not yet sure what he had.Lindsayhttp://www.thatmutt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-80581592125460457302011-07-28T04:07:52.713-04:002011-07-28T04:07:52.713-04:00Hi Kenzo, yes, right you are.

Because cortisol is a stress parameter, it is also important (next to having a clean sample) to get a sample where you dog will be calm. If you get a sample in or after a situation that stresses the dog, it will refelect in higher cortisol levels in the sample.Team Kenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113604410676702370noreply@blogger.com
