Even if you don't go to the hospital for an examination, the owner can know the health of the dog by observing the urine of the dog.
1. The urination is not smooth, the urination stops a little, the buttocks do not change the posture, and the urination is a little, the whole process is intermittent.
2. I haven't seen how the dog drinks water, but he urinates very frequently.
3. The dog's urine has a strong smell, with obvious odor and fishy odor.
4. There is blood in the urine, or after urinating, a few drops of dark or blood-colored liquid will be dropped.
5. There is purulent secretion in the urethra.

1. Urinary tract infection, abnormal urine caused by urethral calculi, prostate or other urinary system diseases in male dogs, inflammation or other urinary system diseases after neutering of female dogs, as well as common food poisoning, anger and so on.
2. Urine diseases, start with low-end urine tests, and then proceed to the urethra, bladder, kidneys, and upwards to check for blood tests and even X-rays to confirm the diagnosis
Tips: After discovering the above situation, don't make random guesses about what kind of disease it is, and blindly give medicine to the dog, remember! This is easy to mislead you and mislead the doctor when you describe the truth.
1. Abnormal urine is not a matter of immediate death, so as long as the dog is in good spirits, don't be too nervous and scare yourself.
2. Measure the dog's body temperature (the rectal temperature can be measured with a thermometer), and probe the dog's nose for temperature and humidity.
3. On the premise of not pouring too much water on the dog, find a clean container. When the dog urinates, pick up the urine, and make sure that the urine is not contaminated. If the weather is too hot and the submission time is too long, the accuracy of the test will be reduced.
Note: If you pick it up at home, morning urine is best (same as physical examination), or mid-course urine.
There are usually several fixed time points for dogs to urinate, when you go home and the dog is excited; after a meal, the dog will drink water and then urinate; when you go out for a walk, Mature dogs go back and fix the pee point.
Tips: For dogs who can pee at home, parents can observe the abnormal situation of the dog faster. If you urinate on the grass, it will be difficult to find the problem at the first time!

Regular daily lotion: recommended chlorhexidine, or 5% povidone-iodine solution (this woman knows it).
