My dog Casey, an almost 10 year old Rott has had protein in her urine an elevated ALP, and high sodium for like a year now. We have senior panels done every 6 mos, and almost to the day we had her current senior panel done, she started drinking gallons of water, and urinating a lot. She is also restless, and not much of an appetite. Her fur is thinning like above her front legs I guess the flank? and having a bit of muscle mass loss in hip area. Our former vet said it is probably glomerulonephritis but current vet thinks it is cushings. She has had an ACTH test which was normal, and has to go tomorrow for ldds test. If that one is negative also, then what? Has anybody else gone through the negative test dilemma? What about holistic treatment for either disease? Thanks.
