cord-276876-acr04xkz	Long, Charles Tyler	Probable primary polydipsia in a domestic shorthair cat	2015-12-01		.txt	text/plain	3541	177	53	After transitioning the cat to a higher sodium diet and instituting several enrichment changes to the cat's environment, average water consumption and urine output levels decreased to almost normal levels and USG increased from 1.006 to 1.022. 1, 2 Once PU/PD is confirmed to exist, the diagnostic approach should include a thorough history, physical examination and minimum database, including a complete blood count (CBC), serum chemistry profile, thyroxine (T4) concentration, urinalysis (UA) and urine culture to rule out more common causes of PU/PD such as diabetes mellitus, renal disease, hepatic insufficiency, hyperthyroidism and pyometra. Although these findings provide further evidence for the diagnosis of PP in this cat, we realize that without advanced imaging of intracranial structures and constant monitoring of plasma AVP levels to determine a threshold for release a distinction between dipsogenic diabetes insipidus and psychogenic polydipsia cannot be made in the case presented here.	./cache/cord-276876-acr04xkz.txt	./txt/cord-276876-acr04xkz.txt
