My recently acquired 5 year old male is having trouble with urinating. He makes small puddles, and his belly is often wet after going. I can't say that I think he's "straining" to pee, because I don't know what that would look like, but when at the vet last weekend she withdrew 5cc's of urine 3 mins after he left several puddles. She tested the urine, and found it to be normal except: highly acidic, and there were large clusters of normal epithelial cells. I'm worried about paying for an x-ray to tell us nothing, so I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for possible causes, things to look for, and tests that would be conclusive, as well as treatments. Thanks for your continued support! Julie [Posted in FML issue 1910]
