I think it would be next to impossible for me to get anything under Charlie while he goes potty! This is the only thing I can think of that might work.

If you are using a crate, you might try putting her in it with a cookie sheet or other shallow baking pan. Hopefully she would go in the pan. If not, the floor of the crate should catch a sample that you could pour into a smaller container. I guess you would want to sterilize the crate floor first so the sample isn't contaminated with dust, etc.

If none of the suggestions here work, you'll have to get your vet to take the sample. If something does work, let us all know...we may need your technique ourselves some day.

I'm so sorry to hear Foxy isn't feeling well! Keep us posted on how she's doing. You'll be in our thoughts.
