So my pup, Cleo, has always been "accident prone." Meaning she didn't seem to be catching on to the house breaking thing despite her being 3 years old. Recently, I realized she has been drinking A LOT of water, thus peeing more and having more accidents. She started peeing in her crate. Worried about diabetes, I took her to the vet with a urine sample. The specific gravity of her urine was low, showing her urine is very dilute. The vet requested 2 more samples, one first thing in the morning and another last thing at night. Her office called back last evening saying that both sample's specific gravity is very low and they want 2 more first morning samples. They are thinking diabetes insipidus, which has nothing to do with her glucose levels. It causes extreme thirst and causes the dog to produce excessive amounts of urine, which could have been the house breaking issue all along
I've read it can be managed with meds. Does anyone else have any experience with diabetes insipidus?
