Subject: Whining while urinating - female

Hi All,

My Maggie is having a problem that we are havin a very hard time tracking down. Maggie is 8yo with insulinoma and adrenal and is currently on Diazoxide (Proglycem) and Pred for the insulinoma and monthly Lupron shots for the adrenal.

At first I thought she was whining because she has gas a lot and diarreah from eating runny chicken gravy, but as I've watched closly this is not the case. It is when she urinates that she whines. The hard part of this is that everytime we go to the vet her bladder is empty. Either she pees in the carrier on her towel or pees right before we go. We have done blood tests and her CBC is "unremarkably normal" according to her vet. We have watched for blood and cloudyness and have not seen either.

At one point her vet felt a lump in her abdomen and thought of a possible uterus stump infection, but the next time we went it was gone and the CBC is normal.

Does anybody have any possible suggestions?

Thanks,
Stephanie
