Dog drinking all the time?

[mugglewump]

Our ten month old golden retriever is drinking vast amounts of water today and has piddled on the itchen floor. I have to keep letting her out in the garden and refilling her water bowl. She is not off her food. What could this be?

A problem with kidneys?

I would get a check up at the vets.

it could be diabetes, I’d get a vet check

A wide range of things can cause this. Could be a UTI, diabetes, Cushing's disease, kidney failure...

Only your vet can find out for certain.

She needs to see a vet - my first concern would be diabetes.

My dog started doing this and was diagnosed with diabetes.

My vet told me this can be a sign of pyometra, when she was off colour and he told me to watch out for her sudden drinking a lot and not being able to hold her wee. If she’s not been spayed and has had her first season maybe bear it in mind but hopefully it’s something simple - best to get her checked out though. Dog ownership is so worrysome!

When ours did this is was pyrometra, so they need a vet pronto,

Straight to the vets (out of hours, emergency). This is exactly what insurance is for.

Vets ASAP. I hope you’ve rung by now.

My dog (his 16) has mild kidney disease and drinks loads, diagnosed with blood tests, get it checked out

This is what happened with out old dog. It was diabetes. Call the vets asap
