That could be a sign either of a urinary tract infection/inflammation or to a more systemic disease causing increased thirst (endocrine disease, kidney failure and so on). Blood test and urine analysis would confirm or rule out all these clinical suspicions. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
