What should I do if my dog stopped drinking?

Answer by  fatcat (25)

Change the water bowl and try bottled water. Keep the dog out of the bathroom. If the dog is eating try canned food or soaking dry food in hot water until it is absorbed. If that doesn't work try low sodium chicken broth and call the vet.

Take your dog to the vet as soon as you are able to get him in. When your dog stops drinking it's not good. The dog could get dehydrated and die. Generally when a dog stops drinking water there is a larger underlying problem. It could be a variety of things but the sooner you get him in the better.

If your dog has stopped drinking he is probably sick. When a dog stops drinking he can suffer from dehydration very quickly. You should get your dog an appointment at the vet to figure out the cause and to help rehydrate your dog. If you can't get there right away, try pouring some clear broth in the water bowl.
