12/22: Jude: AMPS 293; +7.5 414; PMPS 534; +2 472; +4 359

I'm going to try to capture a urine specimen on Jude. I don't understand these excessively high numbers.
 
It's possible he went lower in the wee hours last night, causing a bounce. If the +2 is lower than PMPS, then it's likely a downward curve. Today's straight shot up looks like the start of a bounce.

Thank you, Wendy, and, yes, I hadn't observed or even considered that he dropped shortly after his PMPS. When he goes down after the PS test, I probably should do at least one other test on him in the cycle to see what is happening.

He's also been in the box a little more frequently than normal, too, so it's possible that he's got a UTI. Unfortunately, Jude is so chonky, that the vets literally cannot perform a cystocentesis on him, so I have to try to capture a urine sample, which isn't easy. Fingers crossed. At least a test will rule out infection.
