I posted a couple of days ago worried about Hobbs' potentially excessive water intake. I called the vet who recommended that I measure his water intake for 24 hours and call her with the results. I called her this morning to tell her that Hobbs drinks between 150-175 mL of water in a day and he is 3.6lbs. She told me that this DOES seem excessive and that I need to bring him in so she can run some bloodwork on him. I am SO nervous! What are the possible things that he could have? Is there DEFINATELY something wrong with him or could he just drink a lot of water? Anyone have ANY ideas? I'm so nervous and worried.
