I think it might be Thunders time to go?

Prayers for Thunder, {{hugs}} for you.

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!

Let us know what they say.

I know that bloating is a common symptom of kidney disease. It isn't always noticed mind. I only noticed our old Monty losing weight and mention it to my dad who just said: "Well, he's eating". Me dad being me dad didn't do anything about the weight loss and then three months later, Monty took a bad turn, vomitting and all the rest, went to the vets and didn't come home. If caught early enough, Kidney disease can be treated but me dad was always a sod for leaving them and hoping things would just go away because he didn't want to take them to the vets and "Waste", money.

Having an old dog myself, I know how horrid all this stuff is. I hate it when you notice these things and start fearing the worst. I hope things go ok at the vets.

The vet thinks it's his time to go...we have to talk to the rest of the family but I'm pretty sure we already know what's going to happen..
