Dog urine glows in the dark?

We just went on another walk and she seems fine. This was our first time to walk before dark in a long time but the sun is setting much later now. :)

Decided to run up to Kenlake Lodge to eat and spent $40 for food and burned $40 in gas because we took the MH on that 80 mile run after topping off three of the tires.

Found that the generator voltage does not drop with heavy loads like before we changed the spark plugs back in the winter. It ran and drove like a charge and at WOT take offs it still shifts at 4K RPM like always. It started much better after setting for for 3+ month than in the past.

We do that 80 mile run or down to Fort Donelson national battlefield (120 miles round trip) to warm up the tires from time to time if not tripping much like the last 30 months.

We will keep our eyes on the dog.

Has she been near a nuclear power plant recently? Maybe the dog is from Vulcan and was bleeding. (OK, I watch too much TV).Seriously, though, keep an eye on her, in case she drank something toxic.

Oh Lord, antifreeze is that color.....

Ultra-violet vision!! When you do your laundry - are all your "whites" blindingly so??? ;-)

Thanks Dr. Doug. As always, all dog owners are interested in the answer.

Hope you are enjoying your "retirement."

There are drugs, toxins and food sources and I suspect bacteria that can cause fluorescence.

One possible:

Something that can really change the color of urine is the vitamin B2 (riboflavin). If you swallow a vitamin B2 supplement, and the amount is more than your body needs, the vitamin is excreted in the urine. The urine will be a VERY bright, almost fluorescent, yellow. But there is nothing wrong with you when this happens - it is just your body getting rid of extra vitamin B2.

OK, where's DOC and Mark?

The fact the green glow only lasted 20-30 seconds may indicate it temperature dependent.

Hey, they have no flashlights, how else are they going to see to get around???

Now that was funny. :)

If it had not been for my 16 year old son confirming the glowing urine I would not have posted this. :)

I agree with the post that there could be an infection going because when she goes it is on then off. She was excited and wanting attention so I thought that could have been a factor.

Fireflies came to mind but the last ice storm just pasted.
