Lots Of Water Drinking, Low Urine Specific Gravity

[Bizeebee]

They feel they have ruled diabetes insipidus out, and I talked to a different vet there today about the incontinence and she also felt she is concentrating her urine based on those later tests. She said since it has been 6 weeks, we should run a small panel again to make sure there is nothing wrong w/ the kidneys - BUN, creatinine (all labwork was fine initially, with the exception of the USG - with the dipstick...).

 

If there is nothing wrong there, I think she also comes to the conclusion that is some sort of behavioral/psychological issue re: the excessive drinking. Re: the incontinence, she mentioned a medicine that helps with that that we can try, she said it is a little unusual to see that problem so close to when she was spayed (January 2014). I would expect it more in an older dog myself.

 

 

Did you ever find out what was going on? I have a very similar situation with my new girl

Drinking too much, peeing a lot, including in her crate, leaking while asleep.

But she's seems health as a horse, according to our vet! We've also had tested for everything they can think of!

 

I know this was a long time ago, but did either of you ever find definitive(ish) diagnoses for your pups? We're dealing with a lot of the same issues and so far all the first round tests (UA, cultures, concentration testing, etc) have been negative/normal.
