I found this information on one site:
Quote:
Increased water intake can be a sign of many different diseases, including, but not limited to; kidney failure, Cushing's disease, Diabetes, Hyperthyroidism, kidney disease or urinary tract infection, and Pyometra (infection of the uterus) to name a few. It can also be seen when taking some medications, such as Prednisone. Increased Thirst: My senior dog is drinking lots of water and urinating everywhere. Is it just old age?
The main thing I wanted to tell you is make sure you measure how much water your giving him and how much he's actually drinking in a 24 or 48 hour period. I think the vet will be much clearer on whether it's an excessive amount. Best of luck.
