Poppy is unwell today she was in a right mess this morning when I woke her up, bad tummy and sickness she hasn't eaten all day I will cook her some rice and scrambled eggs for her later, but I am concerned about her not drinking much and I don't want her to get dehydrated any tips of how to get her to drink please.
Re: Poorly Poppy So many upset tummies! So sorry to hear this. You could try: a) ice cubes and b) bits of carrot and stuff that floats in the water bowl (and ice cubes in the water bowl c) very, very slightly flavoured water frozen in a kong.
Re: Poorly Poppy When you cook her rice , dont drain all the water off in the final rinse, leave the rice really wet, this will help a lot, poor love I hope she is better soon x
Re: Poorly Poppy I hope Poppy gets well soon. You could put water in your hand to try and get her to drink??
Re: Poorly Poppy Thanks she has sucked an ice cube she is fast asleep and its her tea time do I wake her for rice and egg or leave her to sleep?
Re: Poorly Poppy Sorry Poppy is poorly. You could try putting bits of carrot, apple treats etc in her water bowl if she likes that, might just encourage her to drink a little whilst trying to get the treat. I hope she will be OK Lois. xx
Re: Poorly Poppy I'd let her sleep and then feed her when she wakes A bit of chicken stock added to water can help entice a dog to drink. Hope she is feeling better soon, poor little girl.
Re: Poorly Poppy Poor Poppy - sorry to hear this. Hope she picks up - keep an eye on her and make sure she is still pee-ing. Lilly is not a good drinker but she loves to drink running water, including squirting it out of a "sports bottle". May be worth a go too? Hope she settles soon poor lamb.
Re: Poorly Poppy Pleased to say Poppy has improved in the last of hours, now shouting as the fireworks go off round us....thanks for all advice..HAPPY NEW YEAR from us both xx
