Towards the end of November I noticed that Logan was drinking more and ravenously hungry. When I have my morning coffee, she eats at least 10 "cookies" after doing her business. She will bark and talk and scream until I give her one after another, to the point I take my coffee upstairs and shut the bedroom door. She was eating her dinner fine, but drank so much all the time that she was waking me 3x at night. A first since I've had her for 6 years. No peeing in the house, though.
The vet fit me in on Monday afternoon, Dec 7. She took a urine sample and blood work.
She called me Friday (yesterday), and found nothing. Her urine is fine, as is the blood work, having tested for diabetes and various other ailments.
She said to keep tabs on the amount of water she drinks. As of 8a, I filled up her bowl to 9 cups. It's now 1/2 full. The vet said a dog her age, weight, etc should drink 12 cups a day and if she drinks more, to call her on Monday.
Logan eats no people food. She has a rawhide bone at night, and 1/4 cup of Special K cereal as a nighttime treat. That's it.
Today, Saturday, she's not eaten her dinner. It is 643p., I fed her at 6p. I sat by the bowl and she plopped herself down at the other end of the room, head between paws, and stared at me. I'm dying here. This is a first. She did her #2 around 6p, and peed, chased a rabbit, wagged her tail, chased my shoe, "talked to me".
She doesn't have Lymes..I ordered a test. For the money I spent, I think the vet should have a better idea. I gave her all the info I had. I know my dog to every piece of her hair. Every movement, sound and bark. I think i was extremely thorough.
She's a vet I never had. It doesn't mean she's not good. Logan loved her, no muzzle needed. She also happens, by coincidence to the the long lost cousin of my best friend (same last name). She's young, but with all her education, I expect her to have a clue. Dogs can't talk, that's why I do. She asked me tons of questions on the phone on Friday and as I was answering, she had to go. I was pissed off. I hate to report her to my fave vet, the owner, but I want an answer.
I googled pituatary and endrocinde gland, thinking Logans was masking symptoms. Nothing.
I know you all are more aware of things than I, with multiple dogs and more experience.
Can someone give me an idea, advise, a past experience? This was so sudden I'm beyond myself. Always bragging how healthy Logan is. This is consumming me. I don't even care about my blind eye. I want my dog to feel good. I want more years with this sweet girl.
