Our 11lb miniature poodle has gone 2 weeks where it won’t drink water, when we first noticed we brought him into the vet, they gave him an IV said he was dehydrated but that he had no kidney disease or any other problems besides some spinal pain near his rear.
He was peeing like a racehorse after the vet. If you can get liquid in him he will pee.
Only way to get him to have water is to boil water dump dog food in and let it cool to warm, too hot he won’t eat it, too cool he won’t eat it.
2nd Vet visit says we have to figure it out and can’t help him with mental problems.
Lactose free milk, he will drink a few teaspoons and stop.
Dump water in my hands, he will drink a few teaspoons and stop.
Got him to drink a small amount of water from Lake Superior.
To get him to eat I usually have to be there with him, watching and coaxing.
He has always eaten a ton of grass if he allowed only to barf it up if he eats too much, he occasionally has had soft stools but that is going on 7 years where that might happen.
He still pulls and kicks and has plenty of energy, his behavior otherwise is identical to before except he never drinks water, tried all different bowls, he walks up looks at the water briefly and spins away. Different types of water, ice cubes, doesn’t matter. We started metering how much water was there everyday, never changes levels.
This issue with water started suddenly and I’m at my wits end, I can’t nurse a dog every day, not sure what is wrong with him, vet says he is in perfect health
