Re: Young cat drinking excessively, vet says it is behavioral?

I just wanted to circle back on this. My vet does think that Diabetes Insipidus is a possibility given Goldie's labs and we're going to do a trial with a drug that would treat it.

Re: Young cat drinking excessively, vet says it is behavioral?

Thanks so much - this is very helpful. Looking at the description, this may be it. I will discuss with vet. If it’s not caused by a brain tumor, then it doesn’t seem like it’s too serious :).

I took her in to the vet who performed basic blood tests - all her results were within normal range and we ruled out diabetes.
