<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am sorry to hear that Mambo is having trouble. I sure will pray that all works out. Would the injections need to be done daily also like the eyedrops? This is such a tough place to be in. It sure makes it difficult
to take him anywhere, poor boy. Please do keep us posed and I pray that can be resolved somehow.

<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>
