Cleaning up dog chemo urine

Hi there,



I completely understand your concern about cleaning up your dog's urine during chemotherapy. It's important to handle it with care since chemo drugs can be excreted in urine and other bodily fluids for a few days after treatment. Here's what you can do at home:



1. **Gloves and Precautions**: Wear disposable gloves when cleaning up urine. This minimizes direct contact with the chemicals that might be in the urine.



2. **Cleaning Solutions**: Use a mixture of water and mild soap to clean the area first, then follow up with a disinfectant. Make sure the area is well-ventilated while you're cleaning.



3. **Protective Measures**: If possible, encourage your dog to urinate in an area that's easy to clean, like a designated spot with removable pee pads or an outdoor space.



Signs that may indicate a serious issue with your pup include increased fatigue, changes in appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or any difficulty urinating. Keep an eye out for these so we can help your dog feel better as soon as possible.



If any concerning symptoms appear or if you have more questions, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets here at Dial A Vet. We're here to support you and your furry friend every step of the way.
