I have need of support whats wrong next to my dog?

Call your vet for advice.
This could be a symptom of something more severe (ie; kidney/bladder infection, kidney failure, diabetes)
Call your vet and see whether you should bring her in for blood work and a urine test. The link if has excellent information from a vet and lists reasons for dogs drinking more. When they drink more, they will pee more--it go hand-in-hand. One thing you may want to do is monitor how much the dog is drinking so that you can tell the vet. Measure how much water is within her bowl(s) and then the number of bowls she drinks per day. Also, let your vet know how lots times per day she is urinating. While you are waiting to get her to the vet, try collecting some of her urine. Note its color (dark yellow, prevailing conditions yellow, clear, bloody, etc.) so you can tell the vet. Bloody urine could indicate infection. Clear, water-like urine can also indicate the kidneys aren't processing normally. Good luck beside the checkup. Try not to worry--this can be a sign of many things.
Thirsty?
It could be as simple as just man thirsty. Provide more details please such as how long has this been going on? If your dog drinks water logically she is going to expel that water a few minutes later in the form of urine. Not a problem to be worried more or less. Has your dog recently had surgery or been fixed because after my dog get fixed this is what she did? Is the weather hot where you are? Most important how long has your dog be drinking excessively and what do you consider excessive and have you noticed any other suspicious symptoms?
i ponder your dog may have a kidney infection you should ring your vet for advice
Ok, jump visit a vet. It could be a number of things:
*Diabeties
*UTI(Urinary Tract Infection)
*Cancer
*Kidney Infection
While you are at the vet get her fixed too, along beside getting her checked out!
I hope she's alright!!
Good Luck!
Time to visit the vet. Excessive drinking and urination is a sign of several conditions, including but not predetermined to diabetes mellitus and kidney problems. Don't ignore it - go ahead and see your vet now.
Best of luck.
Definitely go to the vet, it could be any number of things.
Hmmm...well that could be quite few things. As a preceding post said I would worry about her kidneys. Don't panic...it just takes a simple blood test for your vet to check her kidney function. There are many things you can do for dogs beside kidney problems as long as you catch it in an early stage.
The other entity that is VERY common (and usually smaller amount severe than kidney disfunction) is Diabetes Mellitus. It is very common in elder dogs (adult onset diabetes) espescially females (almost double than males). Some things that bring it on are Overweight Dogs, and Under Exercise. It is also easy to treat and can be diagnosed fairly slickly by your vet. It is a life long treatment regiment though and the sooner you treat it the better.
The only other thing that I verbs about is increased cortisol production by the adrenal gland...usually that occurs contained by a young dog not an old dog. But in massively very rare cases a tumor develops in the adrenal gland that cause cortisol production to increase...this is the EXCEPTION.
If your dog is over weight and under exercised (be honest with yourself) my best guess is Diabetes.
I am more worried whether it is kidneys but I doubt it is, but diabetes left untreated can damage the kidneys so go to the vet as soon as you are competent. Tumors are very rare.
Take her to the vet and tell him whats going on...whether it isn't diabetes I will be shocked. The good news is that you can treat it :-) Good Luck
Maybe thirsty because of the hot weather.Its okay its natural.
Off to the vet next to you. nothing can be fixed here... when it is something like this, best not to risk it.
might be urine infection.
take her to vet if worried thats what tey are there for.1!!
Answers: Our dog did that when she first begin developing diabetes. She drank a great deal, and even though she was well housebroken, she begin peeing in the house, drinking a lot more, and eating smaller amount. Take her to the vet and have her blood sugar tested. Molly is very well controlled--she have to have insulin shots twice daily, but she knows it help her somehow, so when she hears me mixing her insulin, she goes into the living room where I first started giving her the shots, sits down, and sticks out her leg.
