If she is drinking a lot of water and urinating more she should be examined by your vet. There are many possible diseases that can cause this behavior shift - diabetes, Cushing's disease and kidney or liver disease, just to name a few. It is best to get her evaluated by your vet and have some blood/urine testing done.
