Coco may have a urinary tract infection causing the increased drinking and urination. You can get a sample and check to see if the urine is clear yellow. If it is greenish or blood tinged then he should have an exam and urinalysis at your veterinarian. He may need antibiotics to clear up the bacterial infection. They may want to check his kidney function and palpate his prostate also. As long as he's eating and has plenty of water you can wait a few days to see if this improves. If not please take him in so he can get the proper treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Coco.
