Jay, I dont have any advice other than to head to the vet which you are already doing.... it does sound like some kind of kidney ailment and I am sure that you will get some advice from your vet about what to do.

Please keep us posted as to how your little guy turns out
sending positive vibes down your way.

Sorry to hear about your little guy Herbie. I do hope you get him to the vet and that they can help him out. Please keep us posted...

Goodness, it really does sound like a kidney problem. Best to take him off of dog food and put him on white rice & hamburger, with a little cold-pressed safflower, soy or corn oil, calcium, parsley, finely grated carrot or other vegetable, dog vitamins, B complex C, & A. Mix all together with food.

Hopefully it will be something easy to treat with antibiotics like a bladder infection. Yes, please let us know what the vet finds out. Fingers are crossed for you.
