Symptoms: Though the dog may be very hungry, and eats well, he loses condition; is generally very thirsty; coat staring; passes water frequently and often; and misbehaves in the house, especially at night. If some of the urine is boiled, a thick white sediment forms, due to coagulation of the albumen.
Treatment: Limit the quantity of water supplied to dog. Barley water or skimmed milk is better than plain water.

In some cases, when symptoms very acute, from the tenth to a grain[1] of powdered opium three times a day is useful.
Diet: Underdone mutton or veal, with toast or ship biscuits; also boiled fresh fish.
