Not sure what could be wrong with your little kitty, but some of the drugs that he is on are very common in the drugs he is taking. The prednisone causes excessive thirst, but maybe not to the point that you are describing. I would be more alarmed at the fact he is dehydrated and still drinking excessively. This seems to point to the kidneys to me. An elevated glucose level can easily be linked to the dehydration and a low potassium would also be from excess water input. How much is he peeing (quantity and time/day) and what colour is the pee? Hyperglycemia is also linked to excessive thirst but I would think you would see a marked increase in the BG levels if this was the case.
