The only thing that was slightly off was his bilirubin (liver enzyme), which was slighly above normal, which the vet said could be attributed to the treat I gave him this morning. She said it was nothing to worry about and if Hobbs were one of her dogs, she would not have more tests run unless more symptoms developed in the future. I am so happy. I am happy to know that no problems were detected and I am happy to have a peace of mind about this whole thing. This is something I've been worrying about for some time now, so to get the results is really a relief.

THANK YOU EVERYONE for your thoughts and prayers. They obviously paid off!

Oh, and although 150-175mL does seem excessive, she said that normal water intake is 20-40mL per pound of body weight per day. Since Hobbs is 3.6lbs, that would mean that he should be consuming between 72-144mL per day. So, 150 or slightly above that is only slightly above average. Hopefully my little boy just takes after his mommy and just likes water alot! And hopefully no more symptoms will develop.

THANK YOU AGAIN!

YAY HOBBS!!!!

I am so glad everything worked out.

My TJ drinks a lot too! Sometimes, I swear, I see him pick up the water bowl with his front paws and just gulps the water in down in one shot....

ha-ha-ha-ha just kidding, but that's how much he drinks sometimes!

chachi · 10-27-2006, 09:09 AM

Yorkie3 · 10-27-2006, 04:01 PM

Rebecca I just saw this thread!!! I am so happy that Hobbs is okay. Man I can just imagine how worried you were. I've been cleaning all day and only got on a few minutes earlier, so I was taking some time now.

Thank you God for making sure Hobbs was okay and calming his mommy's fears.....

We went through the exact same thing with Loki. When we were housetraining he would pee every 5 minutes and he would gulp an entire bowl of water. We were always told to give puppies as much water as they want but he would drink so much that he would get sick! The vet checked him out and he's fine. So now we just measure his water but he still gets a lot. Now that he's older and housetrained we find that he probably goes out 2-3 times as much as "normal" dogs (maybe every 30mins-1hr) but he is capable of holding it in his crate (obviously while sleeping) when he doesn't have water.

Oh, then we found out he had nighttime incontinence ON TOP of drinking too much, so he's on drugs for that now. I just made a deal with him that he can have as much water as he wants as long as he pees outside!
