Khan was taken to the vet for a suspected UTI on Wednesday. He was licking himself a lot, asking to go out more frequently than he usually does, and I noticed that he was dribbling a little urine if say, I'm brushing him in that area (and he wants to clean up, which might explain the licking). ...

If you've had any experience with either,...
