I laugh in the face of the vet when she asks me to measure how much water he drinks. Water is not water if it is stationary and measurable. I fill the drinking fountain with filtered water, and provide a (supervised) dripping tap for occasions when nothing else will do. This last is not to be countenanced just after he has eaten, or dire consequences (and carpet cleaning) will result.
Wet food is notfoodTM; it is to be licked into submission and sprayed across the room as a myriad of dried grains that stick to the floor. The only true food is brown cardboard pellets, the type he has eaten since he was a kit. (Yoghurt is the only exception to this rule).
Pills are the devil's work. Lucky his daily medication is a yummy liquid....
