Dogs and Cats that Drink Too Much Water – Pet tip 240
Water is the elixir of life and it is essential to all living things. Our pets need to have access to water at all times and their water bowls should be filled with fresh water every single day. When our pets don’t get enough water dehydration can occur. Sometimes though, our pets drink too much water and although we know that water is good for our pets, too much is too much. Serious health problems can occur when our pets drink too much water. Sometimes the reason they drink so much stems from psychological or behavioural problems; other times the reason is medical. Either way, drinking too much water is dangerous for pets.
When a pet drinks too much water, its urinary system is also affected. What goes in must come out so thirst and urination are naturally linked.

Timmy the kitten was born to a stray cat in a bad neighborhood. He found his way to a local shelter. I fostered him from the time he was a few days old until he passed away. Timmy had been born with a horrible heart defect called a Persistent Right Aortic Arch. He underwent surgery that successfully repaired it. Sadly, Timmy had many other problems that appeared weeks after the surgery. After a tough battle with many internal problems such as liver failure, bone marrow failure and ascites he passed away quietly at home November 6th 2009 at 4:30 AM. He will be missed by many.
