Excessive drinking, or polydipsia, is an important but non-specific sign of disease.
Once your vet has established that your pet is drinking too much, they will generally need to carry out a range of tests to narrow the diagnosis down. The main issues that will concern your vet are:
Kidney abnormalities
Liver abnormalities
Endocrinological disease
Kidney issues are most commonly seen in older cats, but can affect a large range of age groups and species.
