https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/14637/interpreting-azotaemia-in-a-dog-with-suspected-diabetes-insipidus I currently have a very sick dog in the hospital and would appreciate any advice. I&#39;ve just inherited her this week so trying to make sense of her previous hx. Sorry for the essay but thought it was best to put down all the info I have - feel free toen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/84782?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 16 Mar 2013 10:26:33 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c2db4311-a124-4698-a2f0-fa16370e2105morna<p>Thanks for the tips.

It might be worth scanning the kidneys as in a young animal it might be due to a structural problem (cysts etc) and so you might see something enabling an easy diagnosis.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/84779?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 16 Mar 2013 09:59:10 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e8c7d25c-bb40-4787-ba5c-898468a82305Stephanie Holmes<p>With the high phosphate and low hct I think chronic renal insufficiencay probably most likely :(</p> <p>It&#39;s always the nice ones.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
