OK. Had the urine tested (BTW getting a urine sample from a dog who stands so close to the ground is an adventure) and, while it was normal, the vet noticed that it seemed to be diluted with too much plain water so she wanted to do blood tests to insure that the kidneys were functioning properly. The blood work came back and showed that the most important marker (creatine(?) was normal, but another marker was slightly elevated. She suggested some changes to Ernie's diet and felt there is nothing more required.
This morning as Ernie came over to lay beside me in bed, I noticed after a while that there was about a 4 inch wet spot by his penis. It appears as though he is "leaking".
Has anyone ever had this problem? If so, what can be done about it? We have a call into the vet to provide this additional info. |
