This could be a sign of cystitis, an inflammation/infection of the urinary bladder. A check up and appropriate investigations and treatment are necessary and would include urine analysis and radiographs. Differentials could be inflammation (idiopathic, urinary stones, infection). Antibiotics may be necessary.

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.

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs might be compatible with a urinary tract infection/inflammation. Stress related (idiopathic type of inflammation) infection and presence of crystals are the most common causes of it. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
