====== Yinrih urinary tract ======

Per [[https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/health/how-long-can-a-dog-go-without-peeing/|this one and only source I bothered to check while googling]], a dog's bladder can hold 44 mL of urine per pound of body weight. If we extrapolate that to yinrih, who weigh 50 to 80 lb on average, that means yinrih can hold 2.2 to 3.5 L of urine.



Yinrih may have two bladders. One is connected to the cloaca as expected. The other, which is called the antebladder by me just now, drains into the bladder proper. The purpose of the antebladder is to delay the onset of the desire to urinate, especially during torpor.
