Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ella. I recommend that she has a fresh urine sample tested by her veterinarian. You are correct that her urine does not appear normal. She could have crystals present. This occurs when the urine pH is too high or too low. Crystals can predispose a dog to bladder stones. If this is not the case, you could be seeing mucus in the urine. This tends to go along with a urinary tract infection or inflammation. Is she having any urinary signs at home? This can include straining to urinate, having accidents in the house, urinating more frequently or drinking more water. These symptoms can indicate disease and guide her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
