While increased thirst and urination (polydipsia and polyuria) can sometimes seem like a minor change, they are common signs of significant underlying health issues in older cats, not just 'old age.' These symptoms can indicate kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or other endocrine disorders. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing these conditions and improving your cat's quality of life. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance to discuss diagnostic testing.
