I think it might be Thunders time to go?

[Canis-Lupess]

Is he losing weight as well? Also, has he suffered any bloating round his abdomen? Check his breath too to see if it smells unusually nasty...like urine.

If so, kidney failure caused by old age might be the reason. Not what you wanted to hear really but excess thirst and urination is a symptom of that. Our Jess's sire died of Kidney failure...I won't forget the symptoms of that.

There are other possible causes mind. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough after your visit to the vets.

Sorry to hear he isn't well. Once they reach a certain age, you know something dreadful could happen at anytime and it isn't nice. Whatever happens, I hope he either gets better or goes without too much suffering. Good luck.

Hope Thunder gets better. Sounds like he needs prayers and good thoughts, which I am supplying.

Sorry to hear things haven't been going well for Thunder.

I remember you posted right before Christmas that he was going to the vet's for wetting himself, but I don't recall that you posted an update? Or maybe I missed it?

Drinking that much water could be either kidneys or diabetes. What did the vet say when you had your appointment?

I hope things turn around for the better.

This is his appointment for after christmas, it took a while to get the money.
Yes he has lost a ton of weight, if you look back on my threads you can see pictures of him from a couple weeks ago. He has no muscle in his back legs and is thin. I havn't noticed bloating though.

He's going in today at 2.

I hope the vet can help Thunder today!
