Interpretation

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the appearance, consistency, and odor of a furry friend's stool or urine can provide insights into their overall health and balance of Qi (vital energy), as well as the state of their internal organs. Here's how TCM interpret certain characteristics of furry friend's poop:

Characteristics: Frequent urination, straining, or blood-tinged urine.

Potential Causes: Imbalanced diet, dehydration, or predisposition to certain mineral accumulations (e.g., struvite, calcium oxalate).

TCM Interpretation:

• Damp-Heat in the Bladder: Promotes crystal formation and inflammation.
• Kidney Yin Deficiency: Concentrated urine and poor mineral metabolism.
• Qi Stagnation: Impaired urine flow leading to crystal buildup.
