I have been trying to catch pee so I can bring it to my mom's doctor for analysis to see if she has a urinary tract infection. No catch. She is hallucinating so it is a good chance she has one. She is not eating and not drinking much. She did pee yesterday but the aide was not able to catch it.

Encourage her to drink (if you can) by having her "taste" something with you. If you can solicit her 'help' perhaps she will drink.
I do hope this helps you.
Go to a wholefoods store. Get D-Mannose in powder form, add one teaspoonful dissolved In water or juice every 2 or 3 hours.
A typcial dosing regimen to treat a UTI using the powder would be one teaspoon dissolved in a liquid and taken every 2 to 3 hours for 2 to 3 days,then use the maintenance dose to prevent recurrence.
We used this 'treatment' sucessfully for FIVE YEARs for my mother. No prescription, no interaction with other drugs, even if she was a diabetic there is NO problem.
I do hope this helps..... p.s. to get a urine sample, try a 'nun's cap' that can be added UNDER the toilet seat.
