Well, the puppies are readily eating their food now, but have no interrest in water yet. I have noticed the amount of pee when they go is way down and I am concerned they are getting dehydrated. It is just a small amount, not like a week ago. (maybe the size of a nickle) Last night I gave them food with a lot of water in it but how should I get them to begin lapping water? They eat the dry food happily but I will have to water it down to make sure they are getting water too. I don't think mom's milk is hydrating them enough. Any advise would be appreciated.

I have been swishing my finger in their water bowl and they see that water is there, but won't lap any really. They will only lick a drip off my finger if I put it to their face.
