i have noticed the last 2 days that milly is drinking more than she normally does even though we have had good weather for weeks now she has one big drink about 6pm and just a small amount in the morning but suddenly she seems to drink a lot morning and eveing i am concerned as she only has 1 kidney and dont know if she needs to go to the vets or wait a bit and see how she goes
Re: drinking Trip to the vets for this for sure, taking a nice fresh urine sample with you to help them out. Hope it's easily diagnosed and treated.
Re: drinking I would certainly take her to the vet as her drinking amount of water has changed given that she only has one kidney. Or at least give the vet a ring and he/she will almost certainly suggest you bring her in and as Lochan says with a urine sample.
Re: drinking I agree I would go to the vets. Our older dog Dee-Nee could drink the lake and it was a bladder infection. She is better now and back to normal water amounts.
Re: drinking went to vets this afternoon has a urine infection if it does not improve in 2 days will have blood test very worried have had 2 people tell me thier dog had only 1 kidney and that failed i know this can happen she is only 13 months old really hope that she will be ok thank you all for your good wishes
Re: drinking A worrying time for you, but you have caught it quickly which is all to the good. Was she born with only one kidney?
Re: drinking My best wishes are coming your way! I am hopeful that since you caught this early all will be well with Milly in the long term
