[NAGDU] Wild to pee

[Caitlyn Furness]

Drinking a lot and peeing a lot are signs of diabetes, but not the only ones.  Just by themselves, it’s not enough.

typically, diabetic dogs will also lose weight and may even pass out from low blood sugars, in addition to drinking and peeing a lot.  Also, when they do pee, it’s usually only dribbles, not a river!
