My spaniel has developed a great hunger and thirst recently,she has been to the Vet,no kidney problems,in good health and very active still,suffers from "leakage" also,any ideas on how to control these symptoms with natural products?,I am reluctant to try a lot of pills that may be prescribed and not work.
Yes diabetis and worms checked

Is your dog on a good quality food? When did you have her to the vet? Did he do a urine test for diabetes, or the one that is repeated each hour? Call your vet and have her rechecked if she is still very thirsty and hungry. If your vet cannot find a reason, ask him for a referral to a specialist. taking pills for something you don’t know the cause of is never a good idea. Please continue to consult veterinary professionals. Good luck.

I was wondering if anyone else has run into a vet like the one I recently met. I live in a pretty nice little town where a lot of people are very well off. Our local vet is very overpriced so I usually bring my dogs a couple towns away to an older, more expeirenced though less "lavish" vet. Anyway, my dog- Chloe is a BC mix that I got from a shelter in NC, she’s a great dog but is obviously from a very poor breeder as she has a lot of health problems and is obviously not the product of careful breeding. I knew this when I adopted her 5 years ago and I have no problem keeping up with her many health issues-including severe alleries, early onset arthritis and dental issues to name a few. Since she has been with me her teeth have greatly improved, her allergies have been relatively under control(still working on it w her primary vet) and she has had surgery to fix a torn acl. I feel that I have given her proper medical care and done my job as her owner but a few months ago I had to bring her into the expensive vet bc I couldn’t get an appointment fast enough with her main vet. She needed more frontline and steriods/anntibiotics for her flee allergies. She did not miss a dose of her flee preventitive but we had just made a trip down south and her allergies were really acting up- I brought her to the vet expecting to be able to explain this and hopefully have him give her the med. she usually takes the help ease the symptoms- instead I was borderline yelled at by this vet-he told me that there was "more required out of me as an owner then just loving my dog" I was speechless. My life revolves around my dogs- at any given time I have at least one rescue pit bull, I have them treated by my main vet, work with them to be able to go into a good home and then find homes for them with no adoption fee-obviously this vet has no idea what I do in dog rescue but I was horribly offended by the way he talked to me. It made me wonder how many well-meaning pet owners have been turned off of bringing pets to vets because of things like this. I don’t know what I would do if he were the only vet around, I can’t even imagine what he would say if I brought one of the skinny, chewed up rescue dogs in there-he’d probably call the cops on me!
Has anyone else been unrightfully critizised by their dogs vet? Or do you think he was right and I am being irresponsible with my dogs health? I’m 22 so I’m sure he sees bad college owners all the time but I was shocked by how he acted towards me.
Thank you all for your input- I greatly appriciate it. I think I might make comment on his judgemental tactics to my rescue contacts. I don’t think he’s a bad vet- just too quick to jump to conclutions.
As for our resident PI "Bobbie" just what do you think I left out? I gave a 2 page explanation on what happened- he jumped to conclutions because she has a missing K9 tooth and had chewed herself raw from exposure to fleas, what exactly do you think I’m hiding? And thanks for the spelling lesson…

I think some vets forget that the CUSTOMER is their EMPLOYER.
WE are the ones who pay THEM to treat our animals.

If they are rude and careless we can just take our dogs elsewhere.
My vet is pretty straightforward, he doesn’t do much idle chit chat, but he does explain in detail the treatments and problems.

There’s no doubt that twenty-first century living is filled with stress. Our jobs are demanding, our roads are crowded, and even our entertainment is fast paced. Stress comes in many packages, but the overall effect on our lives is easy to spot. There are so many physical and emotional symptoms associated with stress that it has been called the silent killer. What is it about stress that would make it a silent killer, and what can we do to counteract it?

Stress comes in several different types. There are exciting, good things that happen to us, such as getting married or getting a new job. While these things make us happy, they are also changes in our lives. In addition, we have sudden, bad types of stressors, such as a fight with our kids or losing our job. And then there are the day-in, day-out types of stressors, such as money problems, an unhappy marriage, or chronic illness. When we talk about the stress in our lives, we usually are referring to the sum total of the effect on us of all these types of stress.

People are wired to respond to emergency stress with a rush of adrenalin. For instance, if you had a vicious dog lunge at you, your heart would beat fast and you’d immediately either grab something to fight it off with or turn and run. This is called the “fight or flight” response. During this physiological response, your mind is probably not thinking very logically, but your body is ready to respond quickly.

While this flight or fight response is certainly appropriate and useful in some situations, it really doesn’t have much value in helping us deal with the kind of stress we experience in the twenty-first century. It tends to leave us with digestive upsets, tense muscles, overwhelmed brains, and taxed cardiovascular systems. In short, stress might be killing you! You might not be aware of it, though, so stress is a silent, sneaky sort of killer.

Reducing stress, even in today’s world, is a real possibility. In fact, it is a virtual necessity. Smart people take care of themselves physically and mentally. Adding stress management to your daily goals is a good idea if you are under a lot of pressure from various aspects of your life. And these days, who isn’t?

Stress management consists of getting enough rest, eating a nutritious diet, and getting moderate gentle exercise. Specific nutrients that can nourish the nervous system from the ravages of stress include the B-complex of vitamins, calcium, and magnesium. Some herbs that can help are skullcap, St. John’s Wort, and chamomile. If getting to sleep is a problem, you might try melatonin or valerian.

Sleep is absolutely essential to good health and stress reduction, although not every person needs the recommended seven to eight hours. Most do, however. Over-the-counter sleep aids made from the drug, diphenhydramine, will help you get to sleep, but the sleep will probably not be as restful as natural sleep. Use it as a last resort.
