But if it makes you feel better, you can give your puppy water and expect to get up more frequently, or give him an ice cube to lick on to help with his dry mouth after you taking him out and before you get him back in his crate.
I certainly would not tell you anything I wouldn't do or did not do. |
I would worry that not drinking water after 7 pm would contribute to hypoglycemia, especially in a 2-pound pup.
For both animals and humans, I am an advocate of keeping the fluids going by consuming and eliminating often. It's better for the kidneys, liver, and all vital organs, all systems.
