Abstract
Urinary constituents of apparently healthy adult cats were compared with those of adult dogs. Urinary pH tended to be higher in adult dogs, although it was not statistically significant. In contrast, urine osmolality and urinary concentration of total protein were significantly higher in adult cats. Urinary concentrations of Mg and NH3 were higher in adult cats, whereas urinary concentration of P was higher in adult dogs. SDS-PAGE of urinary sediment of adult cats exhibited a band resembling THP. The THP-like protein, however, could not be detected in urinary sediment of adult dogs. There was no striking difference on a pattern of urinary nitrogenous compounds between adult cats and adult dogs, although the percentage of urinary urea-nitrogen to urinary total nitrogen tended to be higher in adult cats. These results suggest differences of urinary constituents between clinically normal adult cats and adult dogs.
