Why is my 13-week puppy drinking and peeing so much, even in crate?

Question

Finn drinks twice as much water as his litter mate and urinates every 15-20 minutes, sometimes even in his crate. Can a 13 week old puppy already have developed early kidney disease, diabetes or Cushing's disease? He's been cleared for. a UTI.

He could have congenital kidney disease, diabetes inspidus, psychogenic polydypsia, other endocrine diseases, etc. If he has been tested for a UTI and it is negative than your vet could do some additional testing. Full blood work, x-rays, ultrasound, modified water deprivation test could be done to try to diagnose the problem and treat. You could take him to a veterinary internal medicine specialist if your vet is not able to diagnose.
