Hi all friends!
Asking for help, maybe someone has experience to share... Trying to make it short:
Siiri, my 8 year old primadonna might have some health issues. I noticed her drinking more water this summer, okay it's been hot.... she is a big girl, always has been. A typical couch potato. Collected a urine sample from her for the vet to analyze. Sure enough the urine tested positive for sugar . I panic and take her to the vet for more proper tests. They did bloodwork and I was sure it was diabetes. The bloodwork was normal, no diabetes. Also no problem with the kidneys or thyroid gland. So the vet is happy to view this as a mystery, that cost a lot... so the plan now is to return to the vet next week with a new urine test and take some more blood to check liver, potassium and natrium.
That's it, I just don't like it when a vet does not know what's wrong, kind of scares me. Has anyone here any experience to share or tips that I can take with me next week?
