    My 14 year old dog has been drinking way too much water for the past weeks. After watching this I really wanna go to the vet with her but my mom is very much against going to the vet or even the doctor when I feel sick. I am so worried about my dog. I convinced my mom once to go to the vet. It took me 7 months to convince her something is wrong with the dog. It was a noticable tumour on her leg. Even my mom cried when the vet came back with results. She is shutting off again this time tho. I tried it already but she just shrugged it off. Any idea what I could do to convince her?

    You know I have dealt with many enemy combatants in my life, but nothing is worse than a SOB that neglects an animal, this dog loss his eyes something he needs more than most, I cannot imagine the level of neglect that took place with this dog, makes me sick.

    My 14 year old standard schnauzer has suddenly started drinking water to excess and losing bladder control in the house. The vet tested for diabetes and kidney disease and it looked normal. Normal ultrasound of her belly. Any advice? She does have arthritis and we have been playing with different medications to get that right as Metacam started giving her vomiting and diarrhea problems, so we switched to cartrophen injections.

    I'm so mad. My old vet said it was normal, and I just lost my baby from kidney disease. Her immunities got compromised, and she got parvo at 14 and than her blood got contaminated and she went south so fast. All could have been treated 😡

    my dog is healthy as ever and drinks so much. i think he does it because he just feels hot. (he’s an aussie) it does become a pain though especially when you have to make 100 outside trips a day because of having to pee so much! lol

    My dog keeps drink water and frequent urination.when I'm being him for a walk his tongue goes warmish colour.brought him to get, took blood samples and get said they are fine. The dog is over weight , please advise on what I can do to make home better??? Thank you!

    • @DrLera
      @DrLera  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      He is a true test. To determine if he is drinking more then normal even though the blood work says he is fine. Take his wieght in pound ---> 22 lbs ÷ 2.2= 10kg
      Then get the kg --->10kg × 100=1000 milliliters of water.
      If 22lbs drinks more then 1000 milliliters per day then there is something wrong
      Do these same calculations for your dog. If your dog is drinking more then he should you get a second opinion and make sure to bring the blood work. I also dont know what his urine looks eirher. Best to get s second opinion so the next vet can review everything and go from there

      If she's still not acting well then it's definitely recommended to look into testing to get an idea if there are any internal changes that are significant and warrant for their treatment

      @DrLera  ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a possibility that something is going on. Your vet should be able to tell you how much water he should be drinking a day. If he is drinking more then that would give you the clue that the answer to your question is yes
