Question:
My dog Daisy is always going in the house. I can take her out and 30 mins later she may go in the house. I don't think she drinks a lot of water, but she does drink more than normal. Can her liver be causing this?

Answer:
Linda,
Increased water consumption and urination can be a sign of a number of different metabolic problems, including diabetes, kidney, and even liver problems. If she is urinating that often she could have one of these problems, or something as simple as a urinary tract infection. You should have your veterinarian run a blood profile and urinalysis as soon ad possible, especially if this behavior is new.
Good luck,
