It could be that he is just a thirsty dog, but if he is drinking way too much, some things would have to be considered like diabetes insipidus. |
Ok, I'm going to separate him from the others one day next week and test this. I don't want to do it over the weekend because our routine always varies so much.
Crystal, I owe you a fancy dinner for all the help you've been!
