Come to think of it, he DID start drinking more often and more loudly when he first came down with hyperthyroid. If that is what it is, it is easily controlled by inexpensive meds, so it is not fatal at all! I hope Ebby is perfectly healthy and that she is just developing a loud drinking habit. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
She is around 12 or 13.

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts, prayers, and ideas on what could be wrong. I'll keep you posted. Funnily enough I haven't heard her noisy drinking since I made the appointment.

Oh, if she isn't unwell she will microchipped, a bit late I know but better than never eh?
