Hi
Thanks for your post
You need to be concerned but not too woorried. Her symptom may just be due to dehydration from day activities and little fluid intake.Since diabetes has been eliminated, I will advise you just monitor her daily activities and give her enough fluids during the day.Other causes could be hormonal or metabolic. However, just observe. Follow up her activities in the day and give her fluids. If the problem continues, you see a Doctor for investigation.
Hope this will help
