    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 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...

    Loki thirsty all the time, incontinent

    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...

    What Drew You To The Doberman Breed

    I used to hide behind a tree when my first Doberman took his eyes off of me. Oh, boy, did that teach him to always know where I was! lol Don't do it so much that you make him anxious, but just enough to teach him to keep an eye out for ya! That sounds like a great idea!

    What Drew You To The Doberman Breed

    Cody has taught me something really cool! He loves to play fetch, which quickly turns into keep away. So we started using two balls. I will throw one and he runs to it and brings it back. When he is about 20 feet from us, I will assume the throwing position. He will then accelerate to full speed...

    What Do You Consider The Most Annoying, Loving Etc.. Thing A Doberman Does Compared To Other Breeds

    Our Boxer Riggley has a very short snout. She gets so hot so easy. Cody has a huge tongue that he hangs out with a grin at the start of every adventure. He can go so much longer, harder than any of out Boxers were able to do. We do sick close to the rivers and creeks when it gets warmer. I carry...
