Jack's-Jane
Wise Old Thumper
His huge water consumption (up to 1000ml a day) returned and so Christobel tested his wee. This showed a VERY abnormal specific gravity which means his Kidneys are not concentrating his wee properly. This may be due to a receptor problem on his Kidneys or a hormone problem.
Jake is to start on a drug called Desmopressin which is administered via drops in his eyes ( :shock: ). He will have to have his wee tested once a week to ensure it is not becoming too crystalised as that could lead to Kidney Stones. Jake is 'well in himself' but as Diabetes in Rabbits is rare, and Diabetes Insipidus is MUCH rarer than Diabetes Mellitus, the long term prognosis is not really known.
