Need Advice Please

Hi Guys,
I have to get a urine sample from my non diabetic female schnauzer for my vet. She wants to R/O cushings with a urine test and they would like first urine in the morning...
Ok, problem is... She is a "Lowwww Rider" and I was wondering if any of you had any tricks with the low riding females
Thanks in advance for your help...

Dawn: Jenny is pretty low. I've used a disposable aluminum pan modified to be even lower and transferred it after I got some. I sure hope it isn't cushings.

Dawn, you can use the modified aluminum pan like Judi mentioned but you can also improvise and make one of your own with a heavy duty foil or you can use a long handled, serving spoon. That's what I used....slid it right under Lulu and then transferred it to a little, clean plastic storage container. It's best if you get the first pee of the morning before food and meds.

Me either Judi!!! I really do like this new vet and I was happy that she chose this route... She said it made no sense to put Cassie thru a strenuous test when we could hopefully R/O with the urine test. I'll let you know and thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you Glynda!!! It's good to hear from you... I'll try all suggestions and hope to get it on the first if not second try.
