[NAGDU] Peeing in the office

[Tracy Carcione]

The vet said that the regular urinalysis and bloodwork showed normal kidney
function, and the water deprivation test wasn't necessary.
Today, they use a catheter to get urine directly from his bladder, to see if
there's an infection that's not showing up in the sample I collected.
Wish me luck.  A UTI would be so simple.

Tracy, did you get the vet to do a water deprivation test?  I know someone
else on this list, think it was Mambo's person was doing this but wasn't
sure if you were, too.  this would clarify that his kidneys were working
properly and you could move on to another diagnosis.
