Thirsty for Knowledge - Let’s Talk PU-PD (NYVET2025)

Presented by: Peter Chapman

This session will explore a practical, case-based approach to diagnosing and managing polyuria and polydipsia (PU/PD) in dogs. Attendees will learn how to quantify water intake, interpret urinalysis results, and apply a logical sequence of diagnostic tests to distinguish between medical, endocrine, and behavioral causes. The presentation will also highlight potential pitfalls, including inappropriate testing and treatment-related complications such as water intoxication.
