I recommend contacting your veterinarian and discussing some of these possibilities as a reason for Jet's excessive urination: Poorly controlled diabetes (he may need more/less insulin to get it under better control) Kidney issues High blood pressure (common in diabetic dogs) Another endocrine problem (for example, Cushings disease) There are other possibilities but these would be the most likely. Good luck and keep us posted. Dr. Donna Spector Hi Lois,

Sounds like Jet has had quite a history! I recommend contacting your veterinarian and discussing some of these possibilities as a reason for Jet’s excessive urination:

Poorly controlled diabetes (he may need more/less insulin to get it under better control)
Kidney issues

High blood pressure (common in diabetic dogs)
Another endocrine problem (for example, Cushings disease)
There are other possibilities but these would be the most likely.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I took him to the vet who thought it was infection. He went on different antibiotics, which I can't remember by name because nothing he tried seemed to make him better. Finally he did a surgery to see if he had kidney stones, he didn't but when they did some extra blood work, they said Jet had diabetis. They also sent off a urine culture to see what grew in it and to see what antibiotic would work. Nothing showed up in the urine culture. He is on insilun twice a day but still can't control his bladder, do you have any ideas of anything else that could be wrong. He was neutered when he was a pup. Thanks, Lois Hi Dr. Spector
