I don't know if this post should go at the end or not, but I am curious as to "HOW" your urine tests were done.... how did you collect the urine? Maybe you were lucky and just had to stand at-the-ready with a bucket but my horse is a "shy-guy". Won't wee or poop if anyone is watching...
He has a leptospriosis titer and we want to do a urine test to make sure he is no longer shedding (the other owners at the barn are a little over-reactive).
If we don't catch him at the right moment, will the vet catheter him? (He's a 4yo Friesian gelding) Any chance of complications (swollen sheath, etc.) arising from the cath?
Thanks,
Joni

Well, in case anyone was waiting with bated breath... we wound up making a 'urine catcher' out of a trash bag and string. I am now the proud owner of a 4 yo Friesian who is bag-trained! Anyone need details, please let me know, I'd be happy to help!
