Thanks for reaching out. I completely understand why you're worried about your buddy's increased water intake and urination. It sounds like something's changed with your pet's health, and I'm here to help.
Excessive drinking and urination, known as polydipsia and polyuria, can be symptoms of various conditions. Common causes include diabetes, kidney disease, or hormonal imbalances such as Cushing's disease. Sometimes, infections or reactions to medication might also cause these symptoms.
At home, make sure your buddy always has access to fresh water. Observe if there are any changes in appetite, weight, or energy levels, as these can provide additional clues. Also, take note of any accidents or changes in urination habits as they can be helpful for your vet to know.
Look out for warning signs like lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or noticeable changes in weight. These could indicate a more serious health issue requiring prompt medical attention.
It's important to book a video consult with Dial A Vet so a professional can assess your buddy more closely and guide you on the next steps. They'll likely suggest some diagnostic tests to get to the bottom of it and come up with a treatment plan tailored to your pet's needs.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
