[Dailydrool] Pee question

[Beverly Szaton]

Nigel is incontinent. He leaks so he won't ever explode or anything like
that, but I catheterize him twice a day and get about 120-140ccs of urine.
Suddenly, the amount has tripled, and he is constantly drinking, tanking up
on water. I did give him some dehydrated/rehydrated raw food a couple of
times, but I switched right back to his usual, and it was mixed with his
regular food.
I am going to have to take him in, and I will, for bloodwork I guess, to be
sure it isn't his kidneys or a bladder infection (I doubt the latter.) or
diabetes or whatever.
It's just that it is SUCH a chore to take him in....anyone have any ideas?
He leaks continually now, and not a little either. He stinks, the bedding
stinks, my room stinks. He is not on pred. He gets cranberry and d-mannose
powder every morning and that is all. He has been getting it for about a
year, so I don't think that's what it is, either.
