Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. The cephalexin generally does not cause an increased thirst but the Terbinafine I have seen this as a side effect. It will not cause any harm with the increased thirst and should resolve once the course of treatment is completed. If you notice any new symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea, I would stop the medications and contact your prescribing veterinarian. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
