    Blood in urine??

    Took Loki and her breakfast to the vet this morning. They took blood before and after she ate. Will take about a week to get results. She is such a sweet heart! Another gratuitous action shot.

    Loki thirsty all the time, incontinent

    Diabetes Insipidus, sorry, thought I had. Life has been normal again for Loki and us. The vet had said diagnosing DI is a matter of process of elimination because there is no test for it. We give her one eyedrop of Desmopressin every night now. Looking back, she had always drank more than Codi...

    Loki even loves the ice cold snow melt. I walked ~5 miles, Cody and Loki off course ran a bit more. Cody playing in the snow.

    Loki thirsty all the time, incontinent

    Loki thirsty all the time, incontinent

    Update, Loki is still waking us 2-3 times a night to go out. Drinks a lot in the morning and a lot more when we get home at night. I come home from lunch and let her out with a very small drink. Her day bedding is dry if I get home at lunch, wet if I can't get home for lunch. Her symptoms are...

    Well Loki did not wet the bed last night, a first since this all started. Didn't wake us to go out or get a drink. We did wake up at 4:30 and encouraged her to go potty, then she came right back in and jumped in bed. I got up at 5:30 and Loki got a drink, but wasn't ravenous and drank a more...

    Loki thirsty all the time, incontinent

    I had put up an update, it's gone now. Tests came back. Thyroid tested one of 4. She is now on Thyro-tabs, .7mg. Kidney disease ruled out. We will see how she does on this med. The Vet has not ruled out Diabetes Insipidus, as it could be related to the poor Thyroid test result. She felt this...

    We had all this done at an animal hospital. The vet we saw had conferred with others on staff.

She leaked while laying at our feet. Had been outside just 1/2 hour prior. 37F out, she loves being out side. She loves to go out...
