Subcu and Thirst?

[Marianne]

Yeah but wouldn't he be drinking MORE? I'm thinking it's the subcu fluids that is making him not be thirsty....

200cc's of fluids a day is a fair amount and could explain why your dog isn't drinking much. Just to reassure yourself, just give your vet a call to make sure.

Subq's is like...giving them their liquids/hydrating them through their skin. So, no he wouldn't be drinking as much.

You should give the vet a call about the BM-he should be passing something. That concerns me. He may need to have the anti-diarrheal (sp?) meds cut back some..I would call the vet ASAP. On a second note, don't be afraid to call the vet about ANYTHING you have a question on-you just brought home a parvo puppy-they should expect it.
