ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a diagnostic system for testing animal urine and includes a device for the collection of the urine. The system uses granular particles which are nonabsorbent particles having sufficiently large diameter to provide sufficient interparticle spacing to permit free flow of urine from the particles to the collection region below. The base of the litter box can serve as the urine collector, but preferably, a moisture impermeable liner provides this function. In the use of the instant device for diagnostic purposes, the urine is allowed to pass through the grit, due to its non absorbency, into collection areas. Early evidence of many diseases can be detected, as well as the monitoring of ongoing treatment, through urine analysis. The grit can be used in combination with waffle type support inserts, plastic liners or a spacer member.
