My Dog Peed on the Keyboard... no really.

Kathy, I think what you have there is a newly "christened" desktop computer. The repair, if you decide to proceed with one and are willing to wait for it to be carried out somewhere very far away, is likely to cost more than it would be sensible to spend on that machine, even though it would probably have met your needs for two or three more years if the dog hadn't whizzed on it. If you can possibly swing the cost of a new machine, I think you should just relegate the old one to desktop duty (or give it to someone else who can use it that way, if it wouldn't be useful to you) and order a new MBP or MBA for delivery ASAP so you can get on with your work.

You may need a new dog Kathy. 😉

Leave it off for a long time to let it get good and dry. You might even want to use a hair drier to blow WARM air in it via the keyboard.

As far as a new keyboard, check with iFixIt.com. You can order one from them and change it yourself. It's not that hard. BUT, it may not be the keyboard if pee hit the logic board and shorted something out that feeds power to the keyboard.

Urine is quite conductive, and hygroscopic.It will never dry completely, and the short that has rendered the keyboard inoperable is probably permanent without affected parts replacement.

I tend to agree with Eww's final analysis.

If the computer is not cleaned thoroughly, it will have a distinctive odor.

3M has a liquid product, and I wish I could think of the name, that is non-poisonous, non-conductive, and non-wetting. The original tagline was "It doesn't do anything to anything", and the TVC showed people drinking it, fish swimming in it, and matches being soaked in it. Perhaps an email to 3M will help.

KB upgraded to SQWERTY

My curiosity got the better of me, and I located the name of the product: Fluorinert.

Hope that helps.
