So from last 1 month oreo is living with us.at first his urine was normal light yellow. But now is urine is milky yellow sometimes its dark brown. There is something thick in it. He sleeps a lot lately. And shakes his head, May be because he is playing at that time. He is eating normally though he is drinking less water, I rarely see hime drinking water.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to a urinary tract infection for example. I recommend you check in with your veterinarian so that they can check the urine for the possibility of an infection. They may start antibiotics if they are concerned about an infection. Good luck and have a great day!
