For recap, as long as I’ve known<br>> Mambo he has been a dog who drinks his whole bowl of water within a<br>> minute. He gets 2 cups of water, 4 times per day, which is what GDB<br>> recommended. The support center suggested that I no longer add water to his food as well.<br>> His urine has also been very dilute (the trainers noticed it during<br>> training). And he pees large amounts. He also has an urgency to pee,<br>> and still pees about every 1 ½ hours. He has had a few accidents on<br>> the floor. It’s hard to tell when he does pee on the floor, because<br>> it is a wet spot, but doesn’t smell very strongly of urine. Almost<br>> every time we are out shopping, he will relieve before we enter the<br>> store, but will have to go again while we are shopping, especially if it’s more than an hour.<br>> This is a huge inconvenience, because I’ll have a cart full of<br>> groceries, have to leave it, rush outside, and then come back in. He<br>> indicates that he needs to go by pulling strongly towards the front<br>> door or getting very distracted. It takes a lot to distract him too,<br>> so it’s obvious when he needs to go. And once he’s outside, he<br>> will pee for a few minutes.<br>> When I first brought him home, he had an accident at work, so we took<br>> him in for a urine test. He did have a UTI, but after that cleared up<br>> the problem still persisted. Several urine tests, blood work, and a<br>> few cultures didn’t provide any answers, things looked normal. But,<br>> after my Vet consulted with a specialist, we think the problem is<br>> Diabetes Insipidus. It is not like sugar diabetes, but roughly<br>> translated it means weak or watery diabetes. It is very rare in dogs.<br>> Basically, they think that his body isn’t producing enough of the<br>> ADH horomone and that is what is causing his problems. We are going to<br>> try to supplement this hormone in him and hopefully it will decrease<br>> his thirst and urgency to urinate. There are two ways to administer ADH, via injection or eyedrops.<br>> We are going to try the eyedrops. Luckily, I can get them at<br>> Walgreens, but they are expensive. I give the drops twice per day to start.<br>> Hopefully, his symptoms should improve within a week or two. I’m<br>> praying that this will work and that things will be more normal.<br>> Overall, he is very happy and healthy. If the drops don’t work, then<br>> I am not sure what the next step is… So, they better work!
