My shih tzu is 5 y old. Weighs 7 kgs. Doesn’t drink a drop of water!

My Shih Tzu is 5 years old and will turn 6 soon.

As a puppy, he never drank water. The vet suggested switching from wet food to dry kibble, and after that, he started drinking water daily.

Recently, I’ve heard that kibble isn’t good for dogs and can be harmful. I’m unsure if that’s true, but I’m considering switching back to kibble because he has stopped drinking water completely.

It’s been days since he had any water on his own. He won’t even take a single drop. I have to give him about 5 ml of water daily using a syringe. (That’s how much he’s ready to drink with force)

I’m really worried. Should I switch back to kibble? Is it safe?

My Best Girl: Tux made a mess in the bathroom. He shredded a bunch of tissue… Me: It wasn’t him… prolly Pete the Dragon… MBG: Pete the Dragon can’t do that, Pete is not even alive… Me: Not anymore he’s not…

Grooming question

Hey guys. I have a little 7 year old Shih Tzu. He’s my baby and has been with me since he was 6 weeks. I’ve never thought to ask, is it normal that a lot of his tail hair falls out when I brush it? I brush him probably every few days because he HATES it. But wondering if it’s normal to see so much hair fall out? I don’t brush him aggressively or pull the hair.

Cat attack

My one-year-old Shih Tzu was attacked by a cat while we’re in a rural area. I noticed a little blood on his whiskers, but I can’t see any other obvious wounds. I suspect the injury is around his nose. I have Dettol, Savlon, and Betadine available—what’s the best way to treat it? I’ll be back in the city tomorrow. Also, would Gudcef 100 mg be safe or necessary in this situation?
