Urine Test Sticks - Blood?

Sorry, I either missed the tag or it didn't work. Yes they are the human ones, I use these:

 
I would recommend that any piggy owner have some of these in their piggy first aid kit.

I had my suspicions that one of my pigs may have blood in their wee but with no noticeable symptoms or even visible blood it was difficult to detect.

Thanks to Helen, I was able to test my pigs wee at home using the test sticks which showed Emma had blood. Straight to the vets the next day and she was prescribed a course of antibiotics. The uti cleared up within a week. Thankfully it was only a mild infection and we caught it early
