I'm so sorry to hear about Thunder. One common side effect of corticosteroids is increased urinating and drinking. I'd recommend calling your veterinarian to discuss Thunder's dose to see if it can be reduced. Reducing the dose may decrease some of the side effects you are seeing and may still be helpful in managing his tumor.
