My Toy Poodle, Sammy, has been drinking FAR more water than has ever been normal and has to urinate like a russian race horse about every 1 1/2 hours. He always has water near my office desk and each time he drinks water (which is about ever hour now) he drinks so much it seems he is going to burst. He then has a jet stream when he urinates often. No signs of weight loss or change in mood/personality.
He has NEVER done this the entire 13 years of his life and I am worried. Could it be something with his kidneys? Is there some form or disease that causes this? Please help.
Answers:
It could very well be a UTI or Kidney infection...You need to have him checked by a vet!
Well, my first concern would be a bladder/kidney infection. Hav you noticed any blood in the urine? My second concern would be diabetes. I would get him to a vet FAST and get his urine and blood checked. Best of luck to you.
could be an infection, you need to see your vet just to rule things out, if he was losing weight I might have given thought to diabetes but as he's not its probably something simple
Cut back on the amount of water you are giving and take him into a vet...something sounds wrong. Or possibly contact a vet and ask over the phone, possibly he can offer some advice to try first.
It could also be adult onset diabetes. This is a condition that can affect older dogs and is treated with insulin just like in people. I had a dog that had it several years ago.
Good luck.
A vet check is needed, diabetes, cushings, kidney tumors and several other disorders can cause this in a senior dog. Good Luck
first off dont leave so much water on the floor and have him seen by a vet
My friends dog was doing the same thing, They said something about getting her checked for Diabetes, shes a 14 year old queenslands heeler
I really think u should take her to the vet and have her checked for diabetes... That's a sure sign of it... I would advise you to take her before he gets any worse, just to be on the safeside...
Please take your dog to the vet as soon as you are able.
Excessive drinking/urination can be signs of kidney failure, diabetes, cushings syndrome, liver disease.
Sounds as though he may have diabetes or a UTI. You would be best advised to take him to the vet and have some tests run on him.
