Guest i_heart_greys Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi - I just noticed one of our dogs (I suspect our new broodie) had peed on a blanket in our spare bedroom. It had dried and I noticed some very fine crystals - almost like crystal dust. Does all pee contain a certain amount of crystals? Should I get her into the vet? We haven't had any potty problems with her, so maybe her peeing on the bed is a sign of an infection? thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotaina Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Yes, peeing in the bed is very likley an infection as are crystals in the urine.

lilythetigerdog Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I'd call the vet and see what they say. Infections can become quite painful if not treated. Quote Image removed.

Guest alannamac Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Urine contains urea....which crystallizes when dry if at high concentrations. Definitely check with your vet, and also make sure all of your pups are drinking plenty of water, somebody may have a UTI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest meakah Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Dried pee often looks like it has crystals. This is normal. However, if the dog is out of character by peeing somewhere new, I would try to get a sample of pee and bring it into the vet (check for UTI).

Guest i_heart_greys Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Thanks for the replies, everyone. I caught some of her pee for this afternoon's visit. She's not eating and drinking a lot of water. We'll see what the vet says. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
