Sugar in urine test

[Zab]

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?

Can imagine you worry. Unfortunately I have no clue what can be going on. Did you Notice change in behavior other than drinking more water? Sending healing vibes though!

The only change this summer is that Siiri has been very active, screaming at me to open the door so she can go outside on the deck. There she rolls around on the ground, looks at birds and hunts the butterflies. She has also become very vocal at the water bowl, always demanding fresh cold water in her drinking bowl... so, she doesn't act sick, just the drinking and the urine test that indicates sugar.
