    My dog won't stop drinking water
    I have a 13 year old male min pin who recently won't stop drinking water, the problem was bad before but we fed him brisket 3 days ago and that night he drank 4 bowls of water until he was sick all night. If we take his water bowl up he cries for it all day and if we leave it down he won't stop drinking. He is so desperate to get to the bowl that he has actually hurt himself twice trying to get there fast enough. Can you help

    Was the brisket rather fatty?

    He could be having a about of pancreatitis, it's not overly common but if I dog is not used to having fat it can basically shut down the pancreas.
    It is a condition that they can recover from most of the time but sometimes they need ongoing treatment.

    The other possibilities are things like diabetes but it is unlikely he would start drinking a lot all of a sudden.

    Time for a vet visit to run some tests.
