Is My Dog Dehydrated? – Simple Tests to Determine if a Dog is Dehydrated

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 06:32:13 +0000

Wondering, "How can I tell if a dog is dehydrated?" There are a couple simple tests that can be used to determine if a dog is dehydrated. These methods to test for dehydration can also be used for a sick cat or in cases where a cat won't drink or eat. Dehydration can be a potentially deadly situation. A dog's diarrhea and vomiting is one common cause of dehydration; fluid loss occurs over the span of a day or two. If a dog won't eat and drink at all, dehydration can set in within a matter of hours and the situation can turn critical within 24 to 48 hours. If left untreated, a dehydrated dog will suffer kidney damage and organ failure. In many cases, when a dog won't drink or eat, the underlying disease, infection or other health problem that caused the dehydration in the first place will worsen very quickly... No related posts.
