Copied from a friends Facebook page today, can anybody help her?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advice from you, Millie dog is poorly again, this happened a few months ago as well. First of all she is very fit and active, age 7, no illness apart from hayfever. The symptoms come on quite quickly, she is lethargic and wobbly on her feet and wee (water, no smell) comes out of her continually dripping. We took her to the vets last time and it is not a urine infection and no poison in her bloodstream. Last time it just disappeared after about 6 hours. Then she returned to happy healthy dog. Does anyone know what this could be, is there some sort of plant she could be eating over the fields or brook that could act as a diauretic (don't know how to spell it) if eaten? Please help very worried

Unusual one. There are many plants that can cause strange side effects. Dogs trust have a great page of plants and their potential effects. I think dandelions are supposed to have a diuretic effect but never knowingly seen an issue like this?

They haven't said if she actually received treatment last time, it also seems they haven't taken her again this time. They should at least let the vets know. They also need to be careful that she recovers just as quick, repeat attacks whatever the cause can become worse with longer recovery times.
