dog not drinking water

[mike1458 14]

Hi, I have just recently had to get rid of all my dogs but one and she is really depressed and refuses to drink. She very quiet and I can see that she is down and I play with her as much as I can. She eaten fine and I have put her onto wet food just to get liquid into her and also making it really wet and sloppy for her and she eats that fine but she WONT drink water. I have been syringing water into her mouth, but she puts up a struggle. I have taken the "deyhdration tests" and she is not dehydrated, but worried that she will get there.

 

Any tricks of the trades, apart from the obvious play, and play, and play and try to make her happy again.

Hi Mike i wouldn't worry if your feeding wet food, a dog will drink if it needs to. Your doing the right thing doing the dehydration test.
