    There is a bottle of water that you can get in a pet supermarket that it's to prevent dehydration. Or to give to animals when they are dehydrated. I hope this helps.

    Ah, she is an old dog.

    Have you taken her to the vet? One of the signs of either thyroid problems or diabetes is the animal hanging around by the water bowl and can't seem to get enough water.

    That would be your friend's best move. I think a blood test will give accurate information about the dog's condition.

    Has the dog lost weight? Does he pee a lot?
