Charley just had his teeth cleaned and the vet did a urine test as well, that came back positive for protein. They didn't find any explanation for it and told me to take him back in 2 weeks for another check.
Any experience with this? What could have caused this or it's nothing to worry about?

How much protein? Very small amounts can be perfectly normal.

I don't know, they just told me there were some...I'm not too worried he is eating and drinking just fine and he acts normal.

I'm hoping this is a one-time occurrence for Charley.
