new puppy not really drinking
Hi
I picked up Margo on Sunday and she was such a good girl on the long journey.
She has been very good going in her crate and even going to the toilet outside. I am slightly concerned though as she does not seem interested in her water.
Yesterday she ate and drank very little. Any food she has was eaten from my hand and she just licked some water off my fingers.
this morning she was hungry and had a good breakfast but smelt the water but didnt drink any. Its on the floor next to the food in the same type of bowl..ive changed the water..tried it cool ,warm in several different types of bowls. I am just worried at her lack of interest. I have managed to get her to drink some from the lid of a puppy paste can!!?? but it seems like quite a small amount..she is peeing ok.. but only done one poop.
I know that the first couple of days are about settling in and otherwise shes seems fine playful whe she should be etc. Im just ware of the dangers of dehydration.
Im not sure how much a puppy is supposed to be drinking..and Im getting abit concerned.
She is 8 weeks old
Thanks
Lisa
