Since Babybear had his accident and broke his neck over 8 months ago the only thing he will drink is coffee milk diluted with water.( he doesnt' know it is diluted) If i do put to much water in it he will refuse it. I have put a bowl of water in front of him for a whole day and he would not drink it. I told the vet this and he suggested I try pedialyte he hated it would not drink it. He said try diluted juice nope that didn't work. Next was chicken broth he wouldnt' even drink that. So back to the coffee milk we went. Vet said as long as he drinks it and doesn't get sick keep it up. Other than that he will not drink anything.
But I do have to say tonight I tried again to offer him water because it was 88 today and I was scared the milk would curddle in his belly. He was panting I put some water in front of him with ice and he drank the whole bowl, but he refuse to drink the milk today so he was quite thristy by this evening.
In the summer time I by freeze pops for my big furbabies and they love them frozen and so does Babybear they get one once or twice a week.
