A 9-year-old German Shepherd woke its owner 2–3 times every night to urinate for three months, with increased daytime water intake. The owner attributed it to an aging bladder until weight loss and ammonia breath appeared; testing confirmed Stage 2 CKD. Those three months represented the optimal intervention window

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your experience. Increased thirst, more frequent urination, weight loss, or a change in breath are all signs that warrant a visit to the vet, regardless of the animal's age. They can be linked to various conditions, and an early diagnosis often allows for quicker management. It is therefore best not to simply put them down to ageing.
Best regards,
