Hello, sorry to hear about Kiwi. Female dogs are prone to getting UTIs and this may be something simple such as that. A sterile urine sample may be adequate to test and confirm a UTI. If so, most dogs respond well to antibiotics and don't need any more aggressive hospitalization or intervention. You should at least expect your veterinarian to recommend a urinalysis in addition to the examination fee. Hope this helps and best of luck.
