However, I can provide some general information about what a urinalysis looks for:
A urinalysis typically examines:
* Appearance: Color, clarity, and odor can indicate issues like dehydration, infection, or liver problems.
* Specific Gravity: This measures the concentration of dissolved substances in the urine, reflecting kidney function.
* pH: The acidity or alkalinity of the urine can indicate dietary issues or infections.
* Protein: Elevated levels can suggest kidney disease, inflammation, or infection.
* Glucose: Presence in urine can signal diabetes or other metabolic disorders.
* Ketones: These can indicate problems with glucose metabolism, such as diabetes or starvation.
* Blood: Presence of blood can indicate infection, kidney problems, or trauma.
* Bilirubin: Elevated levels may indicate liver problems.
* Nitrites: Can signal a bacterial infection.
* Leukocytes: White blood cells in urine can indicate infection.
* Crystals: These can indicate stones, but often are harmless.
It's important to remember that these are just general guidelines. A veterinarian will consider the entire picture, including your dog's history, symptoms, and other test results, when interpreting a urinalysis.
If you are concerned about your dog's health, please consult your veterinarian. They are the best resource for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
