Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

Rita needs to be examined by the veterinarian. Drinking more water than normal can be related to a bladder infection, kidney problems, diabetes or endocrine disease. The other symptoms could be related to the same conditions so I recommend to play it safe and have her examined. She will need some blood work and a urinalysis. other diagnostics may also be recommended. I hope this helps.
