Since the presence of these cells often signifies infection or inflammation, an erroneous diagnosis could be made. "<br /><br />"Bacteria reproduce. A few bacteria in a urine sample may be normal, however, large numbers would indicate infection. A urine sample in which the bacteria are allowed to grow could erroneously indicate a urinary tract infection."<br /><br />and "Urine generally becomes alkaline at room temperature. Therefore, the pH test would be erroneous. In addition, crystals which may tend to form in acid urine would dissolve in the alkaline urine. Since crystals in the urine are a significant finding, this abnormality would be missed."skippy hahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00805630058848985264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23155515.post-33180708608899521332011-10-04T09:30:14.704-05:002011-10-04T09:30:14.704-05:00i have to agree. no poo in the fridge. just isn...i have to agree. no poo in the fridge. just isn't right.<br /><br />funny that the parasites would die if it wasn't kept cold. what is the average temperature of a dog's body? i would think the warmer the better when it comes to maintaining quality poo. <br /><br />then again, i'm not a scientist.kid Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213494546040986093noreply@blogger.com
