My dog doesn't drink water at all

My 8 year old Male GSD just refuses to drink water. I have tried to consult several vets regarding this and they suggest to increase his exercise, try to integrate more water-based food in his diet. This has been a problem since the recent few years and the doctors have been unable to give a prognosis.

I change his water bowl thrice a day just in case he wishes to drink and it has been stagnant for a few hours. He eats rice (reduced to mush due to water) for better water intake through food. And we serve him around 500ml water combined with 100ml milk because he loves milk and we haven't noticed any lactose intolerance related issues with him. That is pretty much his daily water intake which is concerningly low and seems to be decreasing. We tried to serve him water adulterated with chicken broth but he seems to enjoy it for a few days and tire of it too. For exercise, I walk him for 1 hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening.

What is perplexing is that his urine colour is perfectly healthy pale yellow, but he has a hernia (possibly because of the neutering surgery and the subsequent anti-biotic medication) and his stool is so hard sometimes that I have to give him laxatives after vet's prescription. He had a bacterial infection in his hind legs for which antibiotics were administered, which exacerbated the stool issue.

Despite the perennial dehydration, touchwood he has never had a UTI. But I did the skin elasticity test for dehydration and his skin took a while to restore. What truly concerned me is that I have noticed that he has gotten weaker in terms of physical activity. I tried to call him, enticing with his favourite treat yet he kept staring at me, very unlike him.

Anybody else's dog does this? No offense to anybody but every prognosis by the vet is the same drab of more exercise, more water-based diet, more frequent changing of water; all of which is valid advice but not fruitful in my case. Having implemented all of this, I am stumped at what comes next. Please help me out, I am at my wit's end. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Has anybody had the same problem - how did your dog start drinking more water? Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you for reading.

3 year old husky adopted, need some help.

Hello everyone! It's going to be 5 days since we adopted Neska, a beautiful husky that was insanely neglected. She already loves us and is actually affectionate, she's a quiet girl aswell. No sounds, nothing. Our issue is that Neska does not eat, we managed to give her some food but she wont even take treats. We only managed to get her to eat a little bit each day with different options... any tips? (We are a bit low on money and the food the refugee told us about wasnt cheap, so throwing it is not an option). Also, she is scared of big sounds and group of people (kids yelling in the distance, a lot of people talking etc... we live in spain so this is pretty common, luckily we dont live in a city). She is the best dog and we love her very much, she takes 2h+ walks daily sometimes 2-3 walks daily and on the house she sleeps most of the time, also loves her bed.

My sweet Bella Bean, my heart dog left me after 11.5 years, I’m hurting and struggling.

My beautiful heart dog, Bella Bean left me last night. I can’t eat, sleep or concentrate. She is my everything. Everywhere I went, she did too. And when I had to leave the house she would wait by the door I left out of whining the whole time. I’m lost. She is getting cremated, after leaving the clinic last night after she passed, it tore me up because I promised her, I’d never leave her. I’m having severe separation anxiety because of it. I’m also scared the cremation company will get her confused with someone else’s. I know it sounds crazy. I think I’m just over thinking everything.

Here’s Mi Bella. Rest in peace baby Bell. Mama loves you

Helpppp

I need help... we recently brought home our 11 week old golden pup and she’s great, buuuut… the biting... we can’t take the biting. We’ve tried redirecting her with toys, getting up and walking away, ignoring her, etc. and nothing seems to work. She has MANY toys, teething rings, and we’ve given her carrots to help her teething. I know it’s something common with puppies, but I’ve never had/met a pup as mouthy as her. I have two kids (4 & 5) and she is starting to scare them because of her biting. Please share what has worked for you guys! Thanks in advance

Please help. At my wits end with my dog.

Quick summary. My dog is a 13 year old yellow lab with worsening laryngeal paralysis (diagnosed). Here is the problem; she clearly seems to have some kind of dementia. She can’t hear or see us super well anymore. And she will bark all the time, specifically in the evening once i’m home. But she does it around that time even if im not there. It’s like she’s sundowning. She did not do this when she was younger. I live with my mom and we try to get her to lay down with us and give her attention to make her stop but she won’t. If we ignore the barking, it continues for 15 minutes straight. Here are some things ive tried. When she first starts barking, i do the following: let her outside, clean and refill her water, and double check that it’s not time to eat daily walks. Did not work, her barking continued, and she has now begun to struggle breathing and will throw up after walks so we don’t walk much anymore time outside to sniff around. She eats grass constantly and i try to tell her to stop, but usually ill be doing something else while. She sniffs around and when we go inside she throws up from eating so much grass indoor play. Barking continues, she struggles to breathe after playing. Giving her small amount of food, thinking maybe she forgot she had been fed. Did not help petting her, laying with her, giving her attention. Might work for a small amount of time, but she’ll just get up and turn around and bark at my mom and i incessantly. We have occasionally given her a benadryl so we can watch a movie without her barking the entire time. We are trying to get a vet appointment next weekend. I’m afraid they’ll say to euthanize or something - but she doesn’t appear in pain. She’s incredibly energetic, loves to play despite it being hard on her, and has a ton of life. She goes up and down the stairs decently, some hip pain, she loves to eat, and she doesn’t seem ready to go yet. Please help.

Dog has thrown up 10 times in 5 hours. What to do?

His first vomit had food in it, but since then it has just been liquid. He doesn't seem lethargic or anything. My wife thinks he just got into the trash or something he shouldn't have. Would Pepto help? What can we do? If it persists, we'll definitely take him to the vet, but he doesn't seem affected at the moment. He's still barking at the neighbors as usual and being his normal playful self. He's a 4 year old Lab + Shepherd mix. He frequently eats the cat turds out of her litter box. Maybe that's what's causing it?

My 12.5 year old dog is dying

***trigger warning *** pet death

Our dog, Leonidas, is 12.5 years old. He recently fell on some stairs and tore a tendon in his knee. He's already had surgery on the other side.

Our vet has recommended we just give him a good last few days/weeks, and then humanely euthanize him.

He doesn't think we should put this lovable toasted marshmallow through anesthesia and recovery from another surgery, due to his age and condition.

It's been a hard few days, thinking about what to do.

I have to be honest, I did not expect this decision to hit me quite this hard.

Leo has been with us through 4 moves, 3 kids, 4 houses, 2 deployments, 1 remote tour (my husband lived in a different country for an entire year), and the pandemic. Leo has been my constant companion even when I didn't have anyone else. Leo has protected me from an attacker who tried to break into our hotel room once.

On walks he loves to protect and herd our children. He doesn't know how to herd or why he's doing it, but he has to be with his squishies (what we call the kids). When they leave for school he whines to go with them.

He loves my husband too. He lays by his feet when my spouse comes home from work and doesn't move for an hour like he can finally relax from protecting us because dad's home.

He loves to go get the ball and to NOT give it back. He loves to chew on antlers and buffalo horns. He has to have filtered water or he gets an upset stomach. We call it his bougie water. He doesn't bark or howl. He whines some, and every once and a while we get an excited single "woof." He's so calm that we had him trained as my companion animal. He used to help me when I fell down (I have herniated disks in my back).

We got him from a shelter after he had lived there for 7 months, unable to find a forever home. He found his forever home with us.

But now, we're near the end. How do we make the decision, "okay, he's in too much pain, we have to say goodbye?"

I've never been through this before as an adult, the choice.

A couple of years ago our other dog lost his mind for a second and bit our then-three-year-old in the face. We had no choice, we had to surrender him and the state put him down.

This is different. We have to watch and wait. We have to give him the best life possible while we can.

We're going to get him a steak or two, take him for car rides and to watch the other doggies play at the park. We're going to make sure he leaves us with love.

I guess I'm just writing here because I hope someone knows more than I do and can tell me they did this before or that other people understand.

I feel alone because my husband is very practical, so he sees it much more clinically and less emotionally than I do.

Any advice is welcome. Thank you.

Our beloved Ahsoka is gone

Our sweet girl is gone. She was fine yesterday, and today she's gone. The vet said that she had a growth on her spleen that ruptured and she started bleeding. There wasn't anything we could have done. All we could do was have her end be swift and painless. I was there with her nuzzling her as her heart beat it's last.

All we have left of her is her undercoat that I brushed out after she passed. I wanted to keep it and see if there was any way to weave it into something I could wear with other materials like wool.

Please hug your sweet husky babies. They are so precious, and only here with us for a brief moment. She was 9, and we thought we had years left.

If you can’t afford a vet, should you just take your dog to the animal shelter?

I don’t own any pets, but I’ve been wondering about this. Is it wrong to not want to pay insane vet bills? A lot of people treat their dogs like their children, but not every culture sees animals that way.

Let’s say your dog develops a treatable illness, but the treatment costs $10,000. Is it really wrong to decide to put the dog down instead of going into debt?

And what about people who are upfront about their limits those who can provide a good home, food, love, and basic care, but know they won’t be able to afford major medical bills? Should they just not have pets at all? Should they take them to a shelter instead?

To me, giving a dog the best life you can, even if you can’t afford extreme treatments, seems better than leaving it in a shelter where it might be euthanized anyway. Wouldn’t most dogs rather live a happy life in a loving home, even if it ends sooner?

Saying Goodbye To My Best Friend

I never wanted to make a post like this but I wanted to as a eulogy of sorts and to process my emotions for the best dog and best friend I could've ever asked for. Rugby

Nearly 10 years ago on a Friday night scrolling on Facebook I saw that my local humane society made a post that they were having an adoption event at Petco and this Jack Russell was going to be there. There was only one picture of him and the comments were flooded with interest. I kept staring at the picture throughout the night and decided I had to get him.

I arrived early to make sure I had first crack at him. He was being fostered so it was a waiting game for them to arrive with Rugby. I was able to walk him and pretty much had to decide if he was going to be mine or up to the next person. I threw caution to the wind and adopted him. I always told him he was the best investment I've ever made.

He made himself at home immediately especially my bed. He was the sweetest and most intelligent boy I could've asked for. He loved going on walks and essentially walking me to where he wanted to go. He was my shadow and always by my side. Always excited to see me when I got home from work or it was it the treats? Maybe both.

Time and years went by albeit too fast and he started slowing down but recently he started walking worse I attribute to arthritis but was even more lethargic than usual. My fears came true and his kidneys were failing and not much to do in regards to mending him. I spoiled him over the weekend with a McDonald's burger, lunch meat and cheese as I knew my time with him was growing shorter.

This morning he wasn't doing great so I had to make the decision to say goodbye. He doesn't deserve to be in pain or discomfort. I loved him more than anything and it was the hardest decision I've had to make. As a 38 year old male I don't think I can cry anymore tears but they keep coming.

Rugby filled an emptiness in my life and a hole in my heart and made me complete for so many years. I hope I made his life complete as well. He will be missed so much and I'll never forget him.
