I don't envy you having to attempt to get a urine sample. The vet would have to ours. They never let me "watch" them go....they prefer going outdoors and then coming right back inside.

What did the vet say about the skin problem? I'm curious because we are going through some of the same things with Butter, but his is all over his body. He has pulled out huge sections of fur. He had a shot before Christmas that helped a lot and he was looking better, then it started all over again. When we took Murphy in on Monday, Butter went too and got another shot. The vet said we will notice this happening at certain times of the year. It is a form of dermatitis and he is pulling that hair to try and stop itching. He looks so pitiful!
