I sure hope that everything is fine with her. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

How old is Ebby? When my Mac entered his "Golden Years", say about 10 or so, his front breastbone started to get more prominent and bony. Now, he is 15 or so and a bit more bony, but he suffers from hyperthyroid, which makes it hard to keep weight on him. 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.

Prayers and good wishes are being sent for Ebby, and I hope this is nothing serious.

You are VERY wise to take her in to see the vet when something questionable comes up. Good on you both!

God bless you and Ebby. Please give her some nice pets and skritches and kissies from us.

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?
