Please ask the vet if diabetes insipidus has been ruled out. Diabetes Insipidus |
Nice stat. I was curious about how much water was considered appropriate given body weight and for some reason was having trouble finding out this information!
I was just wondering what kind of food you are using aqeuous18?
Maybe that has something to do with it, but with the amount of H20 intake it may be a bigger health problem (diabetes or cushings?), and also since a UTI was ruled out. Hmm. Hopefully everything is okay with Wookie (adorable name!) and it's nothing serious. Keep us updated!
