i think it's mostly because my mom avoids giving him a lot of water so he won't pee everywhere.. i always have to sneak him water.. sigh.. it's okay.. this weekend he'l be with me.. and he'll be able to drink water regularly.. and eat well too..
i mean when we usually feed him.. it's white rice.. mixed with his dry dog food.. or it's just his dry food and water.. and he loves it.. so i don't understand where the high protein came from.. could it be his treats? they're all meat. like pig ears.. or cow skin chews.. or hunks of beef and liver (yeah they actually have treats that are dried beef and beef liver) |
It doesn't sound like high protein is making it go up then.
Is there anyway to get your mom to stop taking water away?
Water is very important to clean out the kidneys and dehydration happens easily in small dogs.
I would allow access to water all of the time (except maybe at night but now you will have to let him even then...).
