Polyuria/polydipsia (PU/PD) is a common presenting complaint in small animal practice; a number of different disease states can disrupt normal physiology resulting in this problem. In this episode I discuss PU/PD with Dr Rosanne Jepson who is a Lecturer in Internal Medicine at the QMHA. Some of the things we discuss include what we mean by polyuria and polydipsia, background pathophysiology that can lead to this problem, and a rational approach to the PU/PD patient.
