6 week old puppy won't drink water
My boyfriend and I just got a puppy for a pet store in the mall. She is a rat terrier and weighs 1.1 pound. She's supposedly 7 weeks old but the vet says she looks more like 6 weeks old.
Anyway, the first two days went really well but now she refuses to go near her water bowl. It's really stressing my boyfriend and I out. We've tried giving her a bath so she would drink the bath water and using a different dish. I even licked out of the dish to try and persuade her to drink it. The only thing that has worked is giving her snow from outside and then giving her water from a syringe.
Why would she stop drinking water? She wasn't eating well yesterday either but she finally ate some more this morning. She got heartworm meds a couple days ago and that's the only thing I can think of that would be effecting her stomach. I'm really worried about her but I'm hoping she is just adjusting to her new home.
Any tips would be great!
