For those of you who test your cats urine what brand do you use and where do you get them?
I had bought the CheckUp strips from Chewy's. The first time I used them I was alarmed at the fact it said our cat had high Leukocytes. The strip also showed her glucose was high which I expected however I also bought a bottle of the CheckUp Glucose strips as well as a way to double check and crossed my fingers that her glucose numbers might be lower. NOPE still high glucose. Well at least I had two different strips by the same company and they read the same disappointing things about her glucose numbers
Each time I tested I was getting high Leukocytes and high Glucose. When I say high, both the squares were the darkest color they could be which is the high end of the totals.
Now when I test the glucose it is negative YA!!!!! And has been from almost 3 months.
Well the whole high Leukocytes had been bothering me from day one. UGH... Trying to search the internet for an answer and came up with that it said she could have a UTI ect. But the vet said she does not have any UTI. But why are the Leukocytes so high.
Long story short LOL if you have read this far in my post you certainly see its not a short story. Anyway I need to order new strips. Well low and behold I see in the reviews of the CheckUp strips on Chewy's site, that were written after I had purchased my first bottle, that others are reporting they too have strips showing high Leukocytes! Yet they said they checked with their vets and the vet tested them and the Leukocytes are normal. So I go to looking at our prior test results on U/A as well as CBC done at the vets office and compare what they say to the pictures I take every time I test urine and yep my test says high Leukocytes where as the test run by the vet is in the middle of the normal range.
So I spent time worrying over nothing.
Which leads up to my question of what do you folks use and where do you get them?
