I learn something from everyone that postshere. Keeping in mind the symptoms that our dear Maxieexhibited before he crossed The Rainbow Bridge, I watch Shermanclosely.
I've noticed of late that Sherman has been drinking an extraordinaryamount of water. In fact, if I had to quantify it I would saythat he drinks about four times as much as he usually has in the past(he's never been a big water drinker before). Along withthis, although he's not having peeing accidents, he's peeing more inhis litter box (naturally with the amount of water that he'sconsuming). Finally, he's sleeping a lot more. NowI know that I've been confining him more until we get his "naughtybunny" situation under control, but he sure is sleeping a lot.
I would attribute the drinking behavior to the hot weather asthe temperatures here have been consistently hitting the high 80s and90s, but I've been running the air conditioner at full speed along witha low speed fan just for him continually. In fact, it's socool down here that I have to put on a sweater when I'm working.
It could be that I'm just being my usual paranoid bunny mommy self, butI always err to the side of caution where my sweet baby isconcerned.
Anyone have any insights on this? Should I whisk him off to the emergency room?
P.S. His poops have not changed in color, size, orconsistency. Urine doesn't seem to exhibit excessive calciumdeposits.
P.P.S. Doesn't seem to be in pain or discomfort as his earsare up and relaxed when he's lying down and body is stretched out, mosttimes with feet "kicked back" behind him.
