| Are you certain that it's the water she doesn't like? Could it be the container or the size of the container?

| How old is she? I know when I first got Venus home, I'd have to dip my fingers in the water and let her lick it off them. Then I'd start moving my fingers closer to the bowl, so she'd follow them. Was a few days before she actually got it, and would drink on her own. She was 8 weeks old when I got her. |

| If she is still getting a mixture of dry, canned and warm water - she really shouldn't be needing too much to drink, but if she is only on dry then I would give her low sodium chicken broth mixed in her water and make sure here water dish is very low, like maybe an inch or an inch and half. |

| Wet food is 85% water. Piccolo didn't want to drink from his bowl but he did from the plate and even the floor.

| So glad to hear all is well with your baby. My little boy is the same, he will eat of a small tea plate, or my hand, but he will drink from a small dog bowl. I am so pleased for you, as it can be a worry. Take Care Diana Levi & Teddy |

| Hootie and Hobbs won't drink out of anything that is too big. I would defintely try putting the water in a tiny bowl or shallow saucer and see if that helps. |
