As the title says really... Fergie seems to be drinking much more than he usually does and im just wondering whether or not I should be worried - I know increased thirst can be a sign of bigger problems but Im not sure if I'm being over cautious!
He has a sort of normal rabbit sized bowl from pets at home (Orange one with carrots on if anyone knows it) for water which I change twice daily - Id say he's getting through 1/3 to 1/2 a bowl each time so probably having nearly a full bowl per day. This probably isn't that much in terms of actual liquid but before Id never even noticed a drop in it when I changed it.
The only sensible reason I can think of is that he is eating A LOT more hay and is moulting. Since his dental he's getting a max of 1/2 egg cup pellets and a very small bowl of greens and herbs per day so is eating more hay then ever (which is brill!) - would this make him drink more?
My other worry is that he had about a week and a half of metacam about 3 weeks ago and wondered if that's done something (unlikely i know but just wondered). He's not weeing any more than normal as far as I can see though.
Please tell me I'm worrying too much! I can't afford another vet trip this month haha!
