    I just found this hope it´s nothing at all and just being hot and thirsty....

    when you drink a lot you pee a lot, let´s hope for that, and being the pee clear indicates he´s "cleaning himself" oppossed as if it were bright/dark yellow which would mean some disease...

    Two thoughts:

    Diabetes

    Kidney issues

    A pee sample and blood test at the vet's wouldn't be out of order. Just to rule out these nasties.

    If I remember correctly, hypothyroidism can also have those symptoms. I think maybe a UTI could also. Dogs DO get urinary tract infections.

    Trip to the doc, preferably with a urine sample, is in order. Hope it is nothing serious.

    Screams kidneys to me, Kimmy...

    I like the idea of a urine sample to the vet, hopefully it's nothing. Glad he still has an appetite, but I'm worried about the mopey part as well.

    Good vibes to my favorite boy!

    Me as well.

    I'd take a sample to the vet to start with.

    Hugs to your little boy.

    kidneys, liver, uti, whatever it is, it doesn't sound normal for him. I would take a sample to his vet, if he doesn't have an elevated temp, they may want to do blood tests too. Big hug & kiss to your sweet boy
