Flapjack went in for neutering yesterday. We picked him up about 3 pm, and ever since then he is drinking A LOT of water. I have a large bowl down (a large mixing bowl size), and he drank 2 entire bowls before I took it away! Then he wanted to go out, and spent the whole time eating snow frantically. I gave him a bowl of ice cubes, which he wolfed down. I have been giving him small amounts of water every hour or so since then, but he is absolutely fixated on the water dish. He wasn't interested in eating last night.
Anyone have any ideas about this? I have had many dogs neutered or spayed over the years, but I have never had one act like this. He is about 14 yrs old, could his age have anything to do with it? Other than the thirst, he is acting ok. Obviously in some pain, but ok. Thanks in advance.
