Oh, and when you feel her real warm like that, ask the vet about giving her alittle Benedryl. Thats what I do and it seems to help Kayla.

Allergies to what though? I just gave her a little bit of food and I noticed that her belly is bloated. Do you thing she might be allergic to her food?

blood and urine tests came back and all is perfect! she doesnt have any problem or infection! it might be the food, but the vet said that Royal Canin for puppies does not consider salty or low end food. I will monitor that for two more weeks.

Thanks all!

It is but still I don't understand why her belly is warm and bloated. Maybe because of that she is drinking a lot? To cool her belly??

did she have a fever? Maybe the food doesnt settle well with her. Our lab puppy had an upset stomach a couple weeks ago, and when his belly doesnt feel well, he just drinks and drinks and drinks. HAs she had normal stools?

No fever and normal stools! I think she is fixated on water so now that I know that she doesn't have any problems, I take her water dish away and decide when she'll drink. In the past two days she peed much less!

She is so cute that I want to eat her!

FYI, it doesn't have to be a low quality food to make the dog drink. Canidae is considered by some to be very high quality, and it just cause Gizmo to drink like nobody's business.

Just depends on the pup.

Glad the bloodwork came back clear! What a big relief.

the vet gave me a sample of medical (also royal canin) that only is sold by vets to try with Maya. I started mixing it in her food.
