RE: [pyrnet] water consumption
Title: Message
HI,
That
is the other weird thing, she doesn't seem to urinate that much or poop any
different. If it thunders, she can hold it for 24 hours. She goes out in
the morning and if it storming when I get home from work she sometimes won't go
out until the next morning. She did have blood work done about a year
ago. Maybe I have them do a panel again. I have an old chihuahua
with renal insufficiency, so I am constantly analyzing him and our other dogs.
Maybe I am paranoid, but I'd like get it checked
out.
Thanks,
Sherri
Hi Sherri,
One of my Pyrs, Shelly, is
diabetic.
I don't want to scare you - but it is something to check
for. Diabetes affects the eyes very quickly - so the sooner it is
diagnosed - the better.
The first sign I noticed was her excessive
drinking. And of course with all the extra water they will need to
go out more.
Other signs are rapid weight loss and lack of energy. I
didn't notice any weight loss but Shelly would poop out quickly on our
walks.
It takes just a simple blood test to rule out (or
diagnose).
It is a very managable disease, Shelly has had it for 2 1/2
years and is doing great.
Best wishes - let us know.....
Cat, Shelly
