I noticed a month ago that Porkchop is no longer drinking from his water bowl. I used to change out the water 2-3 times a day because of saliva. He was put on an elimination diet (ruling out allergies) where about 6 oz of water is added to his homemade meal, twice daily. Hardly enough water. I have been giving him the chicken broth leftover from boiling his chicken. I have tried bottled water, a different bowl, adding a bit of sugar. He still won't drink. In this heatwave, it strikes me odd. His vet is concerned though as there is no obvious medical reason. He goes out maybe 3 times a day to piddle. It is more concentrated than before but that would be expected with decreased drinking, right?
Has anyone else experienced this? Should I add something else to his water bowl to get him drinking again? Any medical condition that might be indicated?
