My Shih Tzus aren’t drinking water in this heat and I’m really worried
It’s super hot and my pets (Shih Tzus) are refusing to drink water.
I live in Bangalore, India and as many of you may know we’re a tropical country and in the summers it gets really hot, like 40°C (104°F). And to top it off, Bangalore is dry and not humid, so everything just feels dried up.
I’m really worried about my boys. They hardly drink water, they’re 7 and 9 years old, and lately they’ve just been lethargic and don’t want to do anything. My biggest concern is water. I know people say dogs self-regulate and all that, but this feels extreme, it’s been 2 days.
I took them to the vet and the vet said not to worry about it, but how can I not?
Has anyone experienced this before?
What can I do to make sure they’re hydrated?
Would really appreciate any advice 🙏
