Hi
Having had poor Pele put to sleep last week, i may be just being ultra paranoid now but...
Diego seems to be weeing alot, a quick google brought up possible sign of diabetis.
He is otherwise fine, active on wheel and at playtime, he does sit quietly alot but always has done. His eyes are clear and bright, occassional tiny discharge, but always clears up, its only tiny and occasional, like sleep in human eyes i think. He is eating fine, pooing solids.
I am thinking a trip to the vets is on the agenda next mon.
If it is indeed diabetes, whats the score? he gonna deteriorate fast and die or double check diet and manage diet even more carefully and carry on as normal.
I suppose the weeing could be down to drinking if he's warm...
They never have any sugar that i know of, i check all treats for no sugar, they never have fruit, the only sugar they have ever come into contact with was a branflake when giving medicine in the past and a couple of dried cranberrys around the same time to encourage eating. Certainly no prolonged fruit/sugar treats.
