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.
