Humphrey is sick again, I think. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi everyone, My little chimichanga has recently gotten into the habit of downing water like a crazy pup, this obviously leads to vomiting, him hiding under the table for 10 minutes and then crawling in bed with a very sad look on his face (Mind you I NEVER tell him off... ever, he is the apple of my eye).
I wonder if anyone else has this problem and if so, should I freak out and rush him to the ER? How can I teach him to drink water slowly? I've already decided to change his food because its probably too salty, he is always very thirsty after eating...
Anyway, Humphrey and I would really appreciate your help so thanks in advance!

Try adding some water to his food.

Well, in humans that is a sigh of being DIABETIC!!
I know because I am.
Since YOU HAVE A CONCERN- the first thing I would do was rule out any medical problem- then go from there!
I am not a vet or medical expert- LOL!

That is - JIMO!!
