What Your Pet's Symptoms Mean

COMMON SYMPTOMS IN BOTH DOGS AND CATS ARE EXCESSIVE DRINKING AND EXCESSIVE URINATING.  THE PRESENCE OF THESE WHETHER THEY OCCUR SUDDENLY OR OVER TIME CAN INDICATE DIABETES, LIVER OR KIDNEY FAILURE, KIDNEY INFECTION, OR CANCER.  IT MAY ALSO BE DUE TO A DIET HIGH IN SODIUM, USUALLY DUE TO BEEF JERKY TREATS OR CANNED TUNA.  IF SODIUM IS SUSPECTED TO BE THE CAUSE, ELIMINATION OF IT FROM THE DIET SHOULD ALLOW YOUR PET’S SYMPTOMS TO SUBSIDE WITHIN A FEW DAYS.  IF THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE, A VISIT TO THE VETERINARIAN IS NEEDED.
