More indications of Diabetes in beagle?

Polydipsia (excessive drinking) is associated with a number of problems and should be investigated by a vet. Even though diabetes often springs to mind in pet owners, it is most commonly associated with renal failure.

Here's a list of things that can produce polydipsia:

-Renal failure

-Diabetes

-Pituitary gland problems

-Cushings

-Pyometra (in unspayed females)

As you mentioned the dog has also been lethargic and gaining weight on her normal diet, I'd also wonder about her thyroid function. Hypothyroidism is common in senior dogs and could cause weight gain. That's a very easy thing to treat with a tiny, inexpensive daily pill. When the vet does blood work on the dog, they can also check for this.

The excessive drinking and frequent urination are typical symptoms of diabetes, however weight gain is not - usually if there is a change in weight it will be an unexplained loss. Is the dog overweight to start with, and has the diet changed recently, or does she get given a lot of treats?

Do some research by all means, but do get the dog tested by a vet, as there are other things that could cause this.

The diet plan really should be made up of plenty of fiber and also wholesome foods. Eat four to 6 meals/snacks spread equally throughout a day. Commence doing exercises routinely. Supplements could help too. Flax oil, daily multivitamin, bitter melon, garlic, onion, and stevia might help.

You're right, it could be diabetes, but it also could be a number of other things causing her to drink and urinate excessively. The only way to have her properly diagnosed is to visit a veterinarian and have them do bloodwork and a urinalysis.

No. The frequent urination from diabetes is caused by the blood sugar being consistently too high. But the cloudy urine is your key. This shows "pus" in the urine, and possibly dead bacteria. You probably have a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). THIS definitely needs to be seen by a doctor.

LOL wellt hat is your problem...YOU ARE KEEPING HER BOWL FILLED. Feed her 3/4 cups 2 times a day. Do not give her treats or scraps. Any 'diabeetes' will surely fix it self when you start caring for her properly, in adition to any other health problems not related to her age or genetics.

i would call the vet the dog can die from drinking too much water best to contact the vet
