Hi there,

Is she eating canned food?

Are her gums pale?

Is she urinating fine?

Thanks,

Accepted Answer

Dear friend,

That is a bit unusual if she is eating dry food.Canned has added water so they dont drink as much.

Pull up the skin at her scruff and see if it springs back or moves slowly which would indicate deydration.

If she is well hydrated and eating and urinating normally, I would not be too concerned.Just offer her some milk or broth with no onion or garlic powder and see if she drinks that.

Then just observe her for 24 hours.She should see a vet if she is dehydrated,stops eating or is not pottying normally.

Please let me know how she is doing. I will be here late.

I hope your baby will be fine.

Sincerest best wishes,

Terri
