Ok so now it's Raven's turn to scare the beejebus out of me. She had been battling a yeasty ear for a while and I decided to take her off of the Acana Grain Free Pork and put her on the limited ingredient Lamb version. Well the ear seemed to be doing much better but I have noticed for a while now she has been drinking a lot more water. It's gotten to the point that I find her trying to get into the shower stall after someone takes a bath to drink water and she gets up multiple times a night to go get water and look to see if her bowl has any more food. I also noticed that she has two spots on her back that are missing hair and she cries if I don't turn on the lights for her to go down the steps at night when she wants to get her water. I know she has slipped a time or two so she is always a bit wary of the stairs but that crying until I turn on the light scares me. I also noticed that she looks a lot heavier when she is still eating the same amount of food. Her normal is about a cup of dry, two heaping table spoons of wet or maybe some veggies as a topper. So she definitely shouldn't look so heavy and have a pot belly.
I made an appt with the vet for her saturday and will take a urine sample and have them run blood work and check her from top to bottom. I am really worried about what is going on. My girl is turning 5 in October and I can't imagine what my life would be like without her if something were seriously wrong.
Any ideas what could be going on?
