    My dog won't drink his water
    I have a toy poodle that's 6yrs old, he was throwing up , he would drink his water but he couldn't keep it down. Took him to his vet they gave him meds, he's back eating his food but I can't get him to drink on his own, been giving him water with a eye dropper lookig thing.His vet is out of town, so can anyone tell me why he won't drink on his own and how I can get him to. :confused:
