Drinking tons of water.
Cooper has been drinking so much water lately... more than what he usually drinks... he's even been getting up in the middle of the night for water. I'm nervous that this could be a sign of diabetes.
Is excessive drinking always a sign of diabetes?
I should mention that he's on prednizone and prilosec (1/2 tab of each daily... he'll be on these most likely for the rest of his life because of some stomach issues).
Edited for spelling.

Well, he's been on these meds for almost a year now and this whole drinking thing is new.
We monitor his water intake, esp. before bed because he tends to drink so much so fast that he throws it up

Re: Drinking tons of water.
It could be the medications, but it could also be the dry air.
We've noticed Daisy has been drinking more water cause her mouth goes dry fro playing with her rubber toys and the heat being on at the house.

Now that you mention it, despite all of this rain, it has been super dry in the house... I hope that's what it's from.
