welshydale 22 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 If eyes are clear and nose is wet i wouldn't worry especially if its eating Quote Link to post
WhiteN 15 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I had a terrier that didnt drink a lot but when he wanted to he did , ate well , used to keep a check on nose and eyes and never had a problem. If shes having soaked biscuits then that may well be ok for her for now. Quote Link to post
