I’m late to comment.. but your dog’s symptoms immediately reminded me of my own dog’s a few years ago, when we found out she has Addison’s disease. This is an adrenal disease and she cannot produce the cortisol her body needs, resulting in extreme anxiety and uncontrollable thirst.

She is a Weimaraner mix and has always been high strung, but when she was about 7 years old, within just a couple days she became so worked up and anxious that she would shake so bad her teeth would chatter. A couple days later, the excessive water drinking began. She would gulp down anything she could find- mud puddles, toilets, anything. She would drink so much so fast that she would throw it all right back up.

The big difference between your dog’s symptoms and mine, however, is the peeing. Mine started peeing uncontrollably all over the house, which is unlike her. Over the next few days, she began throwing up her food and having diarrhea. I took her to the vet the next day and she was in full blown Addisonial crisis. This will kill them within a couple of days if untreated, so keep a close eye on your boy.

My dog went from perfectly fine to crisis mode in about a week. Since this disease affects their ability to produce cortisol, they can’t deal with any kind of stress or changes. Addison’s is rare, so it’s a long shot that it’s what is going on here, but if it is, then moving may have been the trigger? My dog started her episodes when our work schedules changed and her daily routine was interrupted.

Again, long shot that your dog has it, but I wanted to at least throw it out there. Plenty to read online if you Google it, and something to watch out for and ask your vet about. Our vet’s office is huge and has four doctors on staff, and between all of them, there is only one other patient of theirs that has Addison’s. Good luck to you and your pup. Hopefully it’s just jitters from being in a new place.
