These could be symptoms of kidney failure or other kidney disease, a urinary tract infection, or the hot weather. I would definitely take him to a vet to be checked out. Also, if your dog is taking prednisolone, it will definitely make him drink and urinate more.

He's on a bender.

go to your vet and get your dog checked out. he might have diabetes. and yes pets can get diabetes.

ours do that when they are hot so we bought them a little kiddie pool so they can cool themselves down and they love it.

He probably is hot (hence panting) so he drinks a lot of water (hence the drinking) so he has to urinate (hence the urinating). Try cooling him down. If that doesnt work take him to the vet.

Take him to the vet quickly. Sounds like the start of kidney infection or maybe even the start of kidney failure. Get it looked at. They can tell quite quickly with blood test, or some vets will do a urine dip test straight away.

Obviously it has a problem to retain water, you should take it to the doctor.

6082 · May 5th 2013, 5:28am

Its a male dog, goin through a mid life crisis and he obviously likes a few beers and sex

the symptoms could suggest diabetes. It would be wise to have your dog checked at the vets asap!

firstly you should go to your vet to discover whether the urinating and drinking is excessive - a condition known as pupd. if it does have it then the cause of this needs to be determined - it could be anything from a urinary infection, dietary change, diabetes, kidney problem, liver problem,, inected womb or an endocrine problem = cushings the vetds will inform you about each of these and may take bloods to determine the cause. if you are heading in its is a good idea to bring a fresh urine sample for them to analyse.

The dog may just be weeing to get rid of all the extra water its taking in. My dogs hardly ever stop panting in this weather. However if its really worrying you then go and see your vet.

a gal and her dog7962 · May 5th 2013, 5:29am

He's unwell. His body is trying to get rid of any infection/toxins by peeing, and obviously he needs to drink a lot if he's getting rid of a lot.Is he still eating ok? Is his nose dry? Does he look tired and bored?I would suggest you get to your vets, and ask them to check him out. It might be a simple cold, or it could be a more serious infection.
