suzeanna Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Should I be worried? Dylan has a very large water bowl downstairs, and a normal size one upstairs (the sort you use as a feeding bowl in those raised feeders). Over the last week or so, I've noticed he is drinking a lot more than normal, I keep having to refill them both much more frequently. He looks well in himself, we haven't changed his food or his exercise level. Is this anything to be concerned about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishPastry Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I would give the vet a ring, just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslass Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'd have him checked, Suzeanna. Liz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundgirl Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Likewise, I'd have him checked as it's one of the questions my vet often asks me to judge health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 He got us up twice in the night, he had the runs. Then he started making a very odd noise..something between a snort, a retch, and a hiccup. My OH remarked in a *by the way* sort of manner that he thought he heard Dylan drinking out of the loo the night before last...and I've got one of those Harpic thingies in the cistern that turn the water blue. I started to panic rather, thought maybe I should get him to the vet this morning but he's snoozing happily now, hasn't been to the loo since nearly 6.40, his nose is cool and moist and he's not making weird noises any more. I think I should be ok to leave it till our appointment tonight..shouldn't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redditchlady Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Only you can answer that. I always think if I'm unsure then vets it is. You could always ask for an earlier appointment now you have the extra information about the Harpic. I hope Dylan is ok Kazz xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thanks everyone...yes he seems to be fine! she found nothing to worry about, no evidence that he'd done himself any harm by drinking the blue loo water (it had been there for a while, so should be pretty weak). We've just got to keep an eye on him and take him back if we have any further concerns. A urine sample was normal, and he showed no pain when she palpated his tummy.
