One time would be when the vet suspects a metabolic disease such as Diabetes, Cushing's and Addison's disease, which all have well characterized abnormalities that show up in the urine. Also, a vet would run a urinalysis if he suspected urinary bladder infection, as the bacteria/yeast/fungi will often be seen in the urine.

Do you have to be a certain type of vet to treat wild animals?

Yes. You need to be one of two things... either an emergency vet who goes on animal rescues or a wildlife vet. An emergency vet is who people would call if they found an injured animal on the side of the road, and things like that. The emergency vet, no matter what kind of animal it was, would do his or her best to make the animal better. This can occur with domestic and wild animals. Or, you could be a wildlife vet. Hence the name, this vet would go out into the wilderness LOOKING for injured wildlife.
