My mantra has always been, change in behavior or odd/out of the norm behavior, vet. A dog's life can be saved or at least any illness/injury can be caught, often in its earliest stages, if you vet first. Maintaining proper hydration in dogs, especially tiny ones like our Yorkies with few reserves, is so important.
