    Dog will not drink
    My dog just had her teeth cleaned and a bump removed on her eye lid, she was put under, and will not drink any water. She is eating fine and going to the bathroom, but has not had any water in two days and very little water before that. What do I do ?

    Is she eating dry food or wet food? If she eats dry food you can always add a little water to it to increase her fluid intake. My guess is, though, that if she's peeing, she's drinking. She may be drinking a bit less because it hurts or maybe because her mouth is feeling better she doesn't need to drink as much as she was. If you are really concerned about it, call your vet.

    Hope this helps.

    Yes, following any treatment, always call the vet with any problems. Usually follow up will be free.
