Dogs are now being raised by many people. When people raise dogs, they always encounter the problem of dogs only drinking water and not eating. So what is the reason why dogs only drink water but not eating?

1. The weather is too hot

When the weather is hot, dogs' appetite will decrease like humans, and their water intake will increase. However, in this case, dogs will start eating normally as soon as the temperature drops. Therefore, the owner can take the dog to a cool and ventilated place to rest and prepare clean water. The dog will eat normally after resting.

2. Overeating

Dogs are very greedy. Sometimes they eat too much and cannot digest well, resulting in food accumulation and bloating, which will affect their subsequent appetite. In this regard, the owner can gently touch the dog's belly with both hands to see if it is round. If it is, it is probably full. At this time, you need to fast for the dog for a day and feed it some probiotics appropriately to promote gastrointestinal digestion and peristalsis. When feeding, you should also pay attention to small meals and frequent meals.

3. Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis can easily cause fever in dogs. After the dog has a fever, the appetite will decrease, so the dog only wants to drink water and wants to lower the body temperature by drinking water. Because there are many causes of gastroenteritis in dogs, including bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, ingestion of foreign bodies, etc., it is recommended that owners take their dogs to the pet hospital to diagnose the cause first, and then provide symptomatic treatment.

4. Pyometra

If the female dog is not neutered, it is likely that it is due to pyometra that only drinks water but does not eat. At the same time, symptoms such as depression, anorexia, polydipsia and polyuria, and excessive vaginal secretions with a foul odor may also occur. If you suspect this situation, you can take your dog to the pet hospital for a B-ultrasound examination to see if there is uterine effusion in the uterus, and then take drug therapy or surgical treatment according to the dog's condition.
