good luck! you and mambo are in my prayers.<br>
I had a friend who's dog had this as well, and she said that the
injections were surprisingly easy to administer for a blind person,
so if that is what you have to do, I'm sure it will work.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well, it looks like we’ve hopefully got a
definitive answer for Mambo’s ongoing urinary issues. For
recap, as long as I’ve known 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 ½ hours. He has had a few accidents on the floor. It’s
hard to tell when he does pee on the floor, because it is a
wet spot, but doesn’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 it’s more than an hour. This is a huge
inconvenience, because I’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 it’s obvious when he needs to go. And
once he’s outside, he will pee for a few minutes. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I first brought him home, he had an
accident at work, so we took him in for a urine test. He did
have a UTI, but after that cleared up the problem still
persisted. Several urine tests, blood work, and a few cultures
didn’t provide any answers, things looked normal. But, after
my Vet consulted with a specialist, we think the problem is
Diabetes Insipidus. It is not like sugar diabetes, but roughly
translated it means weak or watery diabetes. It is very rare
in dogs. Basically, they think that his body isn’t producing
enough of the ADH horomone and that is what is causing his
problems. We are going to try to supplement this hormone in
him and hopefully it will decrease his thirst and urgency to
urinate. There are two ways to administer ADH, via injection
or eyedrops. We are going to try the eyedrops. Luckily, I can
get them at Walgreens, but they are expensive. I give the
drops twice per day to start. Hopefully, his symptoms should
improve within a week or two. I’m praying that this will work
and that things will be more normal. Overall, he is very happy
and healthy. If the drops don’t work, then I am not sure what
the next step is… So, they better work! LOL<o:p></o:p></p>
