Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bailey. I would recommend that he sees his veterinarian. It sounds like he has a metabolic problem that is causing him to drink more, urinate more frequently (hence the accidents in the house) and lose weight. He could have diabetes. It best to have a diagnosis before he starts acting ill as it will be less complicated (and less expensive) to treat. I hope this information helps!
