Well... I've finally admitted to myself that's it not my imagination and that Teddybun drinks/pees farrrrrrrr too much. We're vetting on Saturday :(

Depressed. I've researched a bit about the possible causes and they all sound bad.

Boo.

Will let you know how my big footed star gets on.

Thanks for your interest guys :)

Jolly sensible vet, and very nice. :)

He looked him all over, checked his teeth, heartbeat and temp, and said Ted looks so well (he even said he was cute teehee) that what we'll do is just weigh him every few weeks and check his weight is stable.

He reckons that most things that manifest with polydipsia also manifest weightloss....and he said he's a young healthy bun so hopefully he's just a thirsty boy!
 
Hmmm a little update on the big fuzzy one. He has lost weight, but an insignificant amount. The Vet said it could even be down to the fact he was using a different set of scales. So we're going to weigh him every month to check there's nothing going on there.

He weighed Little too....she's almost the same as Ted!!! :oops:

That's her fat little tummy....ooops bad mummy!

I love that vet so much.... even though I can't understand everything he says.

He picked Little up and said something something something KANGEROO! :lol::lol:

She does look a bit like one sometimes.
