Ok...thanks for the update...I can "see" more clearly now.
I think everyone in the first post has given you some great advice. A veterinary exam with bloodwork is the best first step. From the description of increased water intake along with the bad breath, diabetes does jump to mind, but so do things like severe dental disease or fractured teeth. You might also request a urinalysis since her drinking is increased.
Keep us posted...we would love to know what you find out.
well good luck to kitty this a.m. I hope all tests turn out ok!!!
just a word on the food kitty is on...there are much better foods on the market, many of us here on the forum can give you some names if you wish.
Its probably the food that is making her poo alot...best to you both
My question was in two parts the first one is Drinking be Sueelli, the second one is Cat Drinking Number 2 by Sueelli. To answer your question. Yes that is correct, she was drinking more prior to the operation, then less after and now more. Another thing i noticed was that her breath smelt before her extraction and cleaning but now her breath has started smelling again. her diet is tinned supermeat cat food and some cat biscuits and occasional moist stick treats and cat sachet food. She always has a bowl of water beside her bowls of food aswell. As regard urination i dont think she is urinating any more than usual but she does seem to poo alot maybe twice a day.She is going to the vets this morning to, I presume do blood tests etc to see what maybe happening.
ahhh Thomas so good to see you again...we really need you here!
the post is confusing because part 1 was posted earlier....if you page down to the post 'drinking' it will I think be clearer.
thanks again for helping out.
I am not sure I am following your post. From what I read, the kitty was drinking more excessively prior to the tooth extraction (last year) and then the "excessive" drinking subsided. Is the excessive water consumption happening again now?
What about her urination? How often is she using the litter box?
What kind of food are you feeding her? Some diets actually encourage a cat to drink more water.
Was any sort of bloodwork done prior to her surgery? Any bloodwork more recently?
Let me know and we can try to get your questions answered for you...
