At her age, Lovie should be examined by your veterinarian. Her symptoms may indicate kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes or endocrine disease. Your vet can submit blood and urine samples to assess major organ function. Once the underlying cause is diagnosed, the appropriate treatment can be administered.
