Hi Jenna

Fuzzy may just like to drink more water than Louie. It
could,also, be a symptom of other problems. It could
be Diabetes, a Urinary Tract Infection, or Kidney
Failure. Pigs increase their water intake with all of
these. With kidney failure, they practically stay at
the water bottle though.
Make sure his pee isn't pink or red from blood and
infection. If you know someone with diabetes that has
glucose urine strips, you could get one to test his
urine to see if the glucose has spilled over into the
urine. You can buy the strips too. A blood test is the
only way to know for sure if it is diabetes.
Hopefully, he just like playing with the water bottle.
