When my cat went to the vet's, some of his numbers were off on his urinalysis. The vet thinks it's related to stress, but wasn't sure.
The vet would like me to try doing the test at home a few times using OTC reagent urine test strips. Unfortunately, they aren't able to give me any and the ones they recommended are too expensive given the short shelf life once opened.
If anyone has used these, could you please make a recommendation on good brands? The strip specifically needs to test for glucose and protein. I don't know if I should use one designed for a pet or a human or if it makes any difference. The vet couldn't give me any info because he's never had a cat with abnormal tests like this so he's never recommended a client try this at home.
