[Dailydrool] Young Charlie has yucky urine

[Elizabeth Lindsey]

Well, young Charlie's vet called today to say his low blood sugar  
could be due to processing problems on their end, not Charlie's, but  
other causes shouldn't be ruled out. Of equal interest to the vet is  
Charlie's urine, which has "a lot of junk in it." It could be the  
catch wasn't clean, or it could be Charlie's bladder isn't. We can  
either treat him for a low-grade UTI or we can spend another $100 to  
have the vet stick a needle into his bladder and get a sterile catch  
to culture. So, guess what we're going to do, and it's going to  
thrill Charlie to pieces to find out who's going to stick what where  
this time! But I don't see any point in throwing antibiotics at  
something that may not even exist, and I'm a huge fan of targeting an  
infection with the correct antibiotic for that infection, not taking  
a hit-or-miss approach with a general antibiotic. We continue to wait  
on the results of the thyroid panel. Charlie seems to be feeling  
better right now; he played with and chased our Elsinore some last  
night. But there's no telling how long he'll be feeling like this. It  
lasted only a couple of days the last time.
