Urinalysis results pg2 #33 Coping with FLOODS!

[robinh]

I've got at least one male human and one dog here (and me, of course) who seemed to be confused some days. I look at it this way......I've earned the right to be confused.

My Max before he went had days where he looked so lost when he'd walk into a room. You could see his little brain trying to figure out "why did I come in here?".

As long as Marlin has you, he'll be OK. He trusts you to take care of him during his "senior moments".

Awww, thanks Robin.

It's okay Darlin Marlin - I'm pretty old and forget things sometimes too! We are glad to hear there seems to be nothing really seriously wrong tho. Hope you can get your drinking under control! Oops - that didn't sound quite right, but you know what I mean!

On Wednesday we had the good report on the blood work.

This morning I got the report on the urinalysis. Marlin's labs are FINE! For a dog his age, perfect!

The vet said all this drinking is a cognitive thing with him. No more tests needed.

The blood work ruled out kidney and thyroid issues. The urine test ruled out Cushings and diabetes.

This is GREAT NEWS! (I know I've had the testing done twice before, but this time we did much more extensive work ups.)

He forgets he drank and goes and gets more water. Poor guy!

I'm glad that his urinalysis test results came back good too. Hopefully you'll be able to control how much water he drinks from now on. Good luck.
