Bad doggy mommy/blogger!

I just realized I never gave an update on Lolly's kidney issues.  The original issue was discovered in October and we began treatment immediately.  We returned to have Lolly's kidneys rechecked in December and it turned out that things were improving quickly.  Lolly was already up to 50% kidney function in that short of a time.  The vet asked a ton of questions about Lolly's food and water intake and requested another urine sample, just to make sure that her output was more concentrated (her first sample was really diluted, which meant that she was drinking way too much, which was why she was having so many accidents) and the test came back good.  Now that the weather is warming up and she's spending more time outside, she is once again drinking more, but she doesn't seem to be peeing more (yeah, I went there) so I think it's just because of being more active.  While Lolly is having to continue on the supplements, and will have to be checked regularly, it looks like we've found the answer and not only is she no longer having accidents, she really is healthier!
