Cushing's Disease

Definition:

Cushing's Disease, or Hyperadrenocorticism, is the production of an excess of adrenal hormone, or, more particularly, corticosteroids.

I wouldn't hesitate to take him to the vet or emergency clinic. Even if it is just for piece of mind.

Hyperadrenocorticism

Examples:

One of the most common, and often the only visible symptom of Cushing's Disease is a drastic increase in thirst, which causes excessive water intake.

Diabetes is also a possibility. The following website is very informative. So many diseases we are unaware of.

go to www.dogs.about.com

My dog stopped drinking and we found out he has Addison's Disease.

Good luck!

To dogs as well as humans, excessive water drinking indicates a. diabetes or b. renal problem (or c. damage of the ureter, but I suppose he pees normally or you'd notice, right?)If you can go to the human pharmacy and buy strips that are urine reagent, and test your dog's urine for glucose, it could be helpful to the vet, although she'll run a blood test for sure.
