Hi Elaine and Laela From: owner- The past 3-4 days when I look at
Kodiak from certain angles he seems to have doubled in size. I do not mean the
beautiful, large Pyr thing; I mean pathologically huge. He looks and feels like
he has put on a solid 15 pounds since Monday. He is constantly thirsty and drinks a
lot of water (excessive thirst). He yawns a lot as if he needs the oxygen
rather than being tired. There have been times he is in a steady
constant pant rather than breathing. The panting doesn't seem related to
physical exertion. His appetite has decreased somewhat though
his recent stools appear normal to me. I can't tell how often he urinates. He is not loosing fur. His coat is
full and pretty. He is not aggressive or whiny. He does not negotiate going down the
stairs with his usual agility. I have not really heard him bark in the
past few days. I am going to try to take Kodiak to
the vet the first thing in the morning. I am hoping the holiday is not a
deterrent. I have looked on Google in an attempt to piece together these
'symptoms' and have not had much luck. I understand there could be nothing or a
myriad of things wrong with Kodiak and I am not asking for anyone to make a
diagnosis. I would however like to ask the right questions and I
am wondering if any of these things sound familiar. Thanks to all and Have a Happy Holiday
