Here are some causes of dog drinking so much water suddenly:

以下是狗狗突然喝很多水的一些原因:

1.A change of feeding may alter the dog’s drinking pattern. A change to dry feeding requires the absorption of far more water from the bowel.

喂食的改變可能會改變狗的飲水習慣。要改變喂食方式，需要從腸道吸收更多的水分。

2.Some foods contain much more salt than others and stimulate an increased thirst.

有些食物比其他食物含有更多的鹽，會刺激口渴。

3.A temporary attack of diarrhea will be associated with an increased water intake.

短暫的腹瀉發(fā)作與水攝入量的增加有關。

4.Some medications cause the animal to drink more than usual. Corticosteroids, used to treat skin conditions or arthritis, have a marked effect when given in fairly high doses at the commencement of treatment.

一些藥物會導致動物比平時喝得更多。皮質類固醇，用于治療皮膚病或關節(jié)炎，在治療開始時給予相當大的劑量會有顯著的效果。

5.Animals with an inflamed throat or with tonsillitis will lap small quantities of water frequently while refusing solid food.

喉嚨發(fā)炎或扁桃體炎的動物會經常喝水，同時拒絕進食固體食物。

6.Dogs with long-standing constipation seem only interested in drinking copious amounts of water.

長期便秘的狗似乎只對大量飲水感興趣。

7.The two most serious diseases to be considered when the animal has a history of excessive thirst over a long period are diabetes and nephritis.

當動物有長期過度口渴史時，兩種最嚴重的疾病是糖尿病和腎炎。

Why does my diabetic dog drink a lot of water?

為什么患糖尿病的狗狗要喝很多水?

Diabetes is a disorder of the carbohydrate metabolism of the dog caused by a deficiency of the hormone insulin.

糖尿病是一種碳水化合物代謝紊亂引起的狗狗激素胰島素缺乏。

Insulin is secreted by specialized cells in the pancreas. The function of insulin in the body is to convert excess glucose to carbohydrate which is stored in the liver for the future needs of the animal.

胰島素是由胰腺中的特殊細胞分泌的。胰島素在體內的作用是把多余的葡萄糖轉化為碳水化合物，儲存在肝臟中以備動物將來的需要。

In the diabetic dog or cat the daily energy requirements must be gained from the immediate intake of sugars. Any energy requirement not able to be met from the daily food supply must be supplied by the breakdown of fats.

患有糖尿病的狗或貓每天的能量需求必須從立即攝入的糖中獲得。任何不能從日常食物供應中滿足的能量需求必須通過脂肪分解來提供。

This process is not as efficient as the normal breaking down of stored carbohydrates and over a long time not only does the animal lose weight despite an increased appetite, but the waste products of fat breakdown can cause certain toxic effects in the animal’s body.

這個過程不如儲存的碳水化合物的正常分解效率高，而且長時間以來，動物不僅在食欲增加的情況下體重減輕，而且脂肪分解的廢物會對動物的身體造成一定的毒性作用。

Free glucose is excreted by the animal’s kidney cells and this requires much greater amounts of water.

游離葡萄糖由動物的腎臟細胞排出，這需要大量的水。

Why do dogs with kidney disease drink excessive water?

患有腎病的狗為什么會過量飲水?

Nephritis is a disease of the cells of the kidney that eventually leads to an impairment in their function.

腎炎是腎臟細胞的一種疾病，最終導致其功能受損。

Kidney cells remove the waste products of metabolism and excrete them via the urine. Any impairment in their function is usually detected by the presence of protein in the urine. As more kidney cells are affected the animal compensates for this lack of efficiency by drinking more water in order to flush the impurities with an increased flow of fluid.

腎臟細胞清除新陳代謝的廢物，并通過尿液排出。其功能的任何損害通常是通過尿液中存在的蛋白質檢測出來的。當更多的腎細胞受到影響時，動物會通過喝更多的水來彌補效率的不足，以增加液體的流動來沖洗雜質。

Eventually an animal with nephritis will lose weight, but unlike the diabetic animal whose appetite is excessive, it gradually demands less and less food.

最終，患有腎炎的動物體重會下降，但不像糖尿病動物食欲過度，它對食物的需求會逐漸減少。

It is important to seek veterinary advice where there is a noticeable increase in water intake over a protracted period. Both nephritis and diabetes can be controlled if treatment and dietary changes are begun before the disease process has progressed too far.

在長期飲水量明顯增加的情況下，向獸醫(yī)咨詢是很重要的。如果在疾病發(fā)展到一定程度之前就開始治療和改變飲食，那么腎炎和糖尿病都是可以控制的。
