Iz spring here?

(mom here - a few days ago Shiloh tattled on Shasta about her peeing in my bed - since she had to go to the vet for a couple vaccinations, I also talked to the vet about it - he went ahead and did a urinalysis. Everything it could show checked out fine except (isn't there always an except) for one thing - there was no color to her urine - no concentration. Now this could just be a sign of her being a nervous pup - she has always been this way. However (and a however will often accompany an except) no concentration in her urine could also be a sign of early renal failure - she is going back to the vet on 4/9 for a repeat urinalysis to double check - the results will guide the vet on the next step. To give you all an idea of Shasta's nervousness sometimes - as Shiloh said earlier, it is warm and sunny but kinda windy - I have my windows open a little and just as I have been typing, the wind came up and blew through my window blinds - well you are probably aware of the noise that makes plus something outside was banging around so all the noise, plus the curtains blowing around scared her over, clinging to me. She calmed down a bit (the wind went down) and she laid back down on the sofa. The wind came back up, the noise started up and this time she jumped off the sofa - I guess she didn't get enough comfort from me, looked at the sofa but ran upstairs as the wind came up again. I looked up and there she was, sitting as close to the wall as she could get. I don't remember her ever acting this bad before so not sure what is new. July 4th fireworks have never bothered her this much. Ok - this could have been a whole separate post so I am going to stop for now)
Phantom has your answer to Shasta's nervousness - bad storms in the area later today - may not hit here directly but he is telling us they are around. And good luck to you getting anything done outside if your wind is anything like ours today. Mom is hoping to go to the little biped's soccer game and is worried she will get blown away.
ReplyDeleteDakota had very dilute urine too. Have you noticed Shasta drinking a lot more lately? Could also be early signs of Cushing's.
Good luck with the tests for her.

Shiloh you are prolly gonna have to give up the Pawsible escapes. I'm thinkin your mom is onto your attempts. hehehe Just go ahead and dig a HOOOOOOOGE hole in the center of the yard.. like I do. My dad just LOVES those. You should see how excited he gets.
ReplyDeleteI kinda agree with the OP Pack.. it is worth asking about. Esp. if there is a lot of drinking.
Oh no!! Don't escape. You won't be able to get no cookies if you're not at home!
ReplyDeleteWOOF! WOOF!! we are too little to be out in the big world...stay put...Dolce
ReplyDeleteJack here: we (Jill and I) wear radio fence collars, I don't dig anymore.
ReplyDeleteJill here: I love to dig, Mom always gets upset, she even gets upset when I pull out the plants that keep us from having a level yard, I thought I was helping!
The Mom to Mom: Glad you asked about the "bed" wetting at the vet's. I do hope it's something simple.
no escaping unless you continue the hole and make a tunnel....

Poor Shasta. All the best with the tests. Hugs to Shiloh and Shasta.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I think I know him.
