| Mar 25 at 17:55 | comment | added | EeZombie | @JourneymanGeek Both my wife and I would be happy if she made it to 15 or 16 years. It's been a week since the new diet and her thirst/urination has gone down a slight amount, just enough where frequent trips outside and a diaper at night keeps things under control. Thank you so much for your time in answering, it means a lot. | |

We bulk bought urine eliminator at the end of our late dog's life when he couldn't control it. Dealing with a human parent with the same issue, I'd also say that to keep an eye on other things changing - my dad's CKD meds triggered high potassium levels which was not good. Other than that - with our dog, he was diagonosed around that age, and with a good vet he went on to the ripe old age of 16. | |

Please test if there is sugar in the urine. This are symptomes for diabetics. If the body is not able to break down the sugar in the blood to energy, the sugar works like intoxination. The body tries to get rid of it via the urine. Regularly there should be no sugar in the urine. | |
