Why did the cat start drinking a lot of water: reasons for thirst in pets
If a cat eats dry food, then thirst is a completely natural phenomenon for it.
In any other situation, this should alert the owner of the animal. It is necessary to remember that a number of diseases are asymptomatic and you need to be a specialist to notice deviations and suspect something is wrong.
This is the case when it wouldn’t hurt to take your pet to the vet.
According to the results of a study conducted by employees of the University of Bristol, experts explained why a cat begins to drink a lot of water.
There is no need to doubt if your pet's thirst is accompanied by a loss of appetite.
Against this background, vomiting and diarrhea may occur.
Among the common diseases of cats, experts in such cases call hyperthyroidism.
The disease is curable if identified in time and medication is prescribed.
This is a disease of the endocrine system caused by a malfunction of the thyroid gland.
To avoid trouble, experts advise taking your pets to the veterinarian for a check-up at least once a year.
And cats over 10 years old even more often.
