My old man Duke has been what's referred to as PUPD [polyuric/polydipsic] which is medical terminology for excessively urinating and excessively thirsty. Been going on for about 2 weeks. I took him to work tonight for some labwork, results Thursday.

The symptoms can be due to a variety of reasons, they're very non-specific. He's not eating excessively, so that kind of rules out diabetes. He has no weight loss or gain, he's maintaining. One of my concerns is early kidney disease/failure caused by one of his pain medications. It could be a tumor also. If his labwork comes back normal then we take x-rays. He's had several throughout the years, so we'll get to compare.

Even though I'm not closely bonded with my dog I still love him very much. These concerns are coming at a terrible time for me. I'm stressed with buying a house, fixing it up, the holidays without my gram [she passed 7 months ago], work, etc.

I'm a mess right now and it hurts so much.

@chef diabetes is easily controllable. If my dog has kidney disease, even with meds, diet change, etc, it's still a poor prognosis. He's 12. It just depends on if his values are elevated, how high are they, there are 4 stages to kidney disease. Most times it isn't found until stage 2. I'm kind of jumping to conclusions here. I just have to wait, which is one of my problems. In the meantime I will go through 100 different scenarios in my head, most of which aren't plausible, but my mind will create them anyways 😣
