My dog Willie died of this disease. It is a pretty bad experience. The animal begin's growing very large, like a pituitary condition. The vet should be checking the blood levels to see the measurements. When it becomes very alcaloid - that is when the end is close. For my dog, he couldn't process water anymore and died of a heart attack in emergency. I think in hind site, the best thing to do is put a warm place in the corner and let them die at home. It took about 1.5 weeks for the big guy to die in the end. I was hand feeding him. Sorry to hear about it. My dog Willie died of this disease. It is a pretty bad experience.
