We had a vet visit today...she is now officially, 6 months, 10.8 lbs, and we love her so, I love picking Chelsea up and cuddling her, the little fatty!
The reason for the visit, was because she keeps leaving me little surprise puddles. I have noticed its like she cant control it, her housetraining is going well, if I ask her and take her out. Of course, no dummy, she gets Cheerios if she pottys.
BUT....I have noticed her little bed in her crate is soaking wet every morning, and last week, she played hard all morning, then in the afternoon, she napped, for a long time, on her mat, and when she woke up she had left a large wet spot, she was even surprised/humiliated, so this worried me.
Our vet did a urinalysis in the office, amazing how he squeezed the bladder with his hand, and she PEED in the cup! Yes, I have a very talented Yorkie..LOL! The test showed everything normal, except the urine was not concentrated as it should be, so he drew blood, we get the results tomorrow.
IF the blood work shows us nothing (urinary infection), then he wants to do a fasting from water, and food, urinalysis, which would require him extracting urine during diff times of a morning, and allowing her drinks of water in between.
He said if it IS diabetes, it can be controlled and he would explain more in the event. He did mention eye drops to treat it, and that they are VERY costly.
Anybody's Yorkie have diabetes? Inquiring puppy mind wants to know.
