Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / pregnant bitch not drinking
- By shezza [gb] Date 30.12.17 20:40 UTC
hi my near 7 week pregnant bitch is not drinking much at all. I put fresh water down for her daily but she just won't touch it . she's fine in all aspects of her pregnancy  eating well and happy in every other way. is there anything I can try her on? she will only eat canned food and I was told that contains alot of water but im a bit concerned shes not drinking fresh water..  anyone else came across this? I think a vet trip is needed but thought i would  ask on here first . Some good advice

Well canned food is 80% water so I would not expect her to drink much

should I not be too worried ? shes getting a varied diet along with the canned food .

is she drinking less than she normally would on the sane food?

she's normally on dry food . she was never really a big drinker anyway but seems shes drinking way less now shes on the canned food . she had some last night none at all.today.

> shes drinking way less now shes on the canned food


That is to be expected.
