Congenital renal dysplasia and psychogenic polydipsia in a Bernese mountain dog.
Congenital renal dysplasia was tentatively diagnosed, based on ultrasound and an intravenous urogram, in a 5-month-old female with polyuria and polydipsia. Creatinine clearance measurement revealed that the renal dysplasia was not the cause of the polyuria. A modified water deprivation test eliminated other differential diagnoses and confirmed psychogenic polydipsia.
