My friends rott has DI - its obviously different to Diabetes Mellitus by a country mile - it is treatable
- my friends boy has eye drops that help control the thirst and since he's been on them he has managed to put on some weight and it has curbed his thirst - he is only 2 and DI is usually seen in older dogs. Best of luck with your Akita - if you have any specific questions you'd like me to ask her then please feel free to PM me
