Sam wont drink water I cant get my yorkie Sam to drink water these last couple of hot days ,any advice ? THANX |
Try adding a little chicken broth to the water dish. |
Joel loves drinking from a syringe, when were going on a hike or a long walk I pack a bottle of water and his syringe and he likes it. Or just around the house too, and it might even get him used to a syringe if he ever needs to take medicine. :) |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk. How old is Sam and is he eating? Watch him closely for signs of dehydration. Make sure his gums are pink and moist. I would use the syringe to get a little water in him. Check in with your vet if this continues or if anything else seems different. |
See if you can get Sam to lick water off your fingers or out of the palm of your hand. Good luck! |
How about trying a different bowl....or a water bottle....or a few ice cubes? :) Or, if you want to be really sneaky - let him watch you put one of his favourite treats into his water bowl....:eek: :D Sally + Harry :aimeeyork x |
Herschel got sick last week. Had high fever and after tests the vet said he had a sloightly elevated level aof crytals in his system. He said it was dehydration and might even be stones but would have to do a further exam to be sure. He said to watch him for the next week and if he improves then probably won't need to test further. I thought about the dehydration issue so I went to Rite Aide and bought a medicine dropper. I am giving him three tbls of water every two hours. He seems much im[roved and is hungry, pissing regularily, poop is fine and playhing tug of war with me like usual. I would go to Rite Aide and get the medicine dropper. It is a two piece package. A medicine dropper for liquids and a medicine scoop for dry ingredients. It was about $2.75. Hope that helps. I didn't realize that he wasn't drinking enough water. Although I just read a post under the recipe forum about chicken contributing to this crytaline issue. |
