I'm glad you are planning on getting Kiwi tested, as unfortunately it is not possible to tell "normal" urine just from a picture. The colour of urine can change based on the dog's diet, hydration level and other factors. Changes in urine volume, colour, odour, frequency or location of urination could be due to a urinary tract infection, crystals in the urine, stones in the urinary tract, or trauma to the area. If you notice her straining to urinate/unable to produce urine, this is a medical emergency and she should be seen by a vet immediately.

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.
