Hello.
Hope you are well. I have popped some thoughts below:
1. How to measure SG in multiple samples, do we discard any or just mix and measure?
I would not measure SG on a mixed sample. I would pool samples for UPC, but not for SG. I would measure SG on multiple individual samples.
2. If we don’t culture every diabetic or Cushinoid animal then when to culture?
The main thing would be if they displayed any clinical signs of urinary tract disease. I would always culture if UTI signs. I would also consider culture in these cases if they were unstable in any way or not responding to treatment. I would definitely culture unstable diabetic patients.
3. In a case of proteinuria and infection, do we treat infection and reassess proteinuria OR treat concurrently?
In these cases I would treat the infection first and then re-assess the proteinuria.
I hope that helps.
Scott 🙂
