Something isn't right. It could be diabetes, kidney issues, thyroid issues, a growth spurt, a weird personality quirk, a genetic issue - lots of things. Go to a vet and have them do a full panel and an urine analysis. I'll cost you about $100 including the exam fee, and will give you an over view of her health. It either rule out, or identify, major issues so you can start treatment. DO NOT restrict water intake. Some conditions will get worse if they don't have enough water, and you could actually cause bladder and kidney infections if she doesn't get enough to drink. Good luck.

He really needs to get those medications. Not taking diabetes medications could be fatal. If he can not afford the medications there are programs that can help. The doctor's office will probably give him samples for now, but if he doesn't have prescription coverage, he should contact the manufacturer of the medication to see about getting it for a discounted rate.

I was like that for some time alway's peeing and very thirsty. they found out I had Diabetes Insipidus where your thirsty all the time. They had me start out with a neuroligist to check to make sure that the Pitutary wasn't lacking something. they found out I wasn't getting enough hormones in certain areas so they had to put me on hormone replacements and you inject yourself everyday. Go on the internet and read about Diabetes Insipidus. Webmd has a good site and information about this.

It sounds like to me that he needs to go and see his doctor so he can be put back on the medication that helps with these symptoms, because diabetes is nothing to play around with.

sounds like his sugars are running too high, if his urine smells like rotten eggs or matches, he could be in Diabetic Keto Acidosis (you start producing acetone[nail polish remover]), the constant thirst and urination are because the kidneys are trying to flush out toxins. Its doctor time. If he can't afford his medicine, try to get him on a Patient Assistance Program, most drug companies offer them, you can even register online with most of them

disclaimer: I am not a doctor.
Contact his doctor!
Ask doctor for samples of medicines
excessive thirst and urination are symptoms of diabetes.

He should be eating right, checking his blood sugar, and regulating his blood sugar through diet and medicine if perscribed.

A doctor can adjust his medication if needed.

Not from the medication, but the symptoms you described are probably from high blood surgar. He needs to try to be on his diabetic medications if that's what his doctor wants.
