Excessive drinking since stopping antibiotics?!

For the last week Lionel has been drinking loads i am filling up the water 4/5 times a day when i never use to refill it even once, one bowl was enough for both of them all day and it was never empty. Its definately Lionel as I have never seen Lolly drink but hes always at the bowl.

His urine also stinks now, its disgusting I am actaully heaving when cleaning the trays out which i now have to do every day and there are pools of urine in it as the paper and hay/straw are not soaking it up.

The wierd thing is we stopped his antibiotics just over a week ago and just under a week ago this started, any ideas anyone? Shall I go to the vets again?!

Hmmmm, well I would take him back to see Christobel on Monday. Have you noticed if he has lost any weight?
Has he ever been treated with Panacur as a preventative of EC?

Was the antibiotic for his abscess?

If you have any Panacur I would start both him and his friend on it.
Also, if you can catch a sample of his wee on Monday take it with you for Christobel to dip-test it.
