[Oagdu] Mambo update

Mon Nov 2 18:37:06 UTC 2015

Hello Deanna, 

I was just wondering how things were going. I sure pray for you because it is so hard to be in the position that you are currently in. I do pray it begins to work very soon.

Thank you all. Mambo started his eyedrops on Thursday night. So far, I haven't really noticed a difference. But, the vet said it could take a week or two. He really does not like to take his eyedrops (no surprise there, LOL). My stepdad, Larry has to hold him, while I put the drop in. I think it's going in alright, but it's difficult to tell.

> Hi,

> Mambo he has been a dog who drinks his whole bowl of water within a
> minute. He gets 2 cups of water, 4 times per day, which is what GDB
> recommended. The support center suggested that I no longer add water to his food as well.
> His urine has also been very dilute (the trainers noticed it during
> training). And he pees large amounts. He also has an urgency to pee,
> and still pees about every 1 Â½ hours. He has had a few accidents on
> the floor. Itâ€™s hard to tell when he does pee on the floor, because
> it is a wet spot, but doesnâ€™t smell very strongly of urine. Almost
> every time we are out shopping, he will relieve before we enter the
> store, but will have to go again while we are shopping, especially if itâ€™s more than an hour.
> This is a huge inconvenience, because Iâ€™ll have a cart full of
> groceries, have to leave it, rush outside, and then come back in. He
> indicates that he needs to go by pulling strongly towards the front
> door or getting very distracted. It takes a lot to distract him too,
> so itâ€™s obvious when he needs to go. And once heâ€™s outside, he

> When I first brought him home, he had an accident at work, so we took

> after my Vet consulted with a specialist, we think the problem is
> Diabetes Insipidus. It is not like sugar diabetes, but roughly
