Straaange wee, not urates
Hi everyone,
this morning, I was just getting the little un's up for some breakfast when Honey did the strangest wee. It seemed to be 'thick', as it wasn't absorbing straight into the soil and woodchips, and also had a small white cloud in it. She's been eating ok and had a bath the night before? Is this a mixture of mainly urine with urate or uric acid in or should I be worried? I've not seen it before, but know that she has done one or two urate buildups in the bath in the past few weeks Abee x ps. sorry if this should be in the health section |

It sounds fine to me I've seen it before and it's just very dilute uric acid.
