Collecting the pee...

[Fishslayer]

When urine testing with the Ketadiastix Lucy USED to be very good about letting me put the strip into her stream but lately she's decided she's tired of that drill & has started squatting really low so I can't get the strip where it needs to be.

Don't tell the wife but I swiped one of her big flat soup spoons. It just slides right under there & collects the specimen no muss no fuss. No wet fingers, either. Eeeew!

The spoon sounds like a good idea just don't invite me over for soup.

I started collecting from Buddy with a short broom handle that I had bolted a small flat bowl on. I got pretty good and could catch pee at 4 paces.

He did get used to me chasing him and eventually just let me do it by hand.....boys are so much easier.

Pebbles was the pee queen She would pee on command I got a disposable cup and was right behind her Then I put the strip in the urine. I labeled the cup Pebbles pee pee Didn't want my husband to think it was a clean one!!

LOL, I use a glass that is short and wide I think its a Old Fashioned drink glass I got in my travels years ago. Never thought I would use it for this.

Thank God for Baker's Square Pie House. We use pie pans. The little dickens can't squat low enough for that!!

I can't believe you could get a cat to let you collect urine... now that's impressive.

Re: Collecting the pee...

This thread is funny I guess everyone has the same problem almost tried everything that was posted, my husband even made up one with a pole and plastic square dish but, couldn't hide it from her. I never did try the soup laddle that's next. The tupperware was working out but, she got used to it and stops peeing. They just get too smart for us and we have to outwit them some how.

We even named the tupperware Baby's Pee Pot - I was thinking maybe if we cut the sides a little she won't feel it when we slide it under.

I'll let yu know what happens.

Thanks, Ida


Oh I checked the websit on weight she is ok she looks like she is ideal a #5 no ribs showing just loss the fat in the waist and you can see her waist line. Some vets liked the ribs showing not me -too too skinny.

Re: Collecting the pee...

Good ideas for collecting the prized liquid!

As you've all seen through our threads, Oliver is the most adorable obstinate cairn terrier ever.

Once he realized I'm trying to collect his urine, he won't go...PERIOD! He'll just stand there and pee in dribbles just so I can get it.

I love him SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!
