Nano - Won't Drink Any Water Suggestions & Prays!

Try putting water into his canned food. That's what I do. If worse comes to worse, squirt a couple of syringes full into him. Also, try tuna juice.

I'm not going to suggest Clam juice but mixing in some water with his various wet foods is a good idea. Also, try to put his water in different places. He may feel safer in some areas.

I hope you'll get him to drink on his own. When the vet checked him, was his numbers fine?

Sending kisses to Nano and hugs to you. Thanks for all you do!

We actually didn't do any blood work at that time because we were more concerned about getting his hydration back but I suppose we should have at that time but we didn't. We are probably going to have to take him to a vet if he doesn't start drinking on his own soon.

I hope Nano will start drinking his water soon and I hope he is a healthy kitty. If things don't change, just bring him back to the vet as you mentioned. Sending many good vibes for your Nano.

cats like well-aerated water. Try a big bowl with an aquarium pump in it or a pet fountain. That's why a lot of them drink from the toilet or faucet, every flush or rinse is like a fresh bowl.

I will echo - flavoring the water with tuna, chicken or something enticing may help!

My Siamese boy, Ming, was never a big drinker and used to get blockages from time to time. He is now on meds, but the vet suggested getting a fountain and see if that got him to drink Yep, sure did. He is now at the fountain at least three times per day. Try that. All of my cats love the fountain! Kimba, my youngest, also likes to drink from the faucet. He likes his water "on tap", so I leave a slight trickle of water coming out from the bathroom faucet for him. Cats have their peculiarities all right.

I've been adding some water to his canned food but I still don't think that would be enough. We will try tuna water again and see if that works but he didn't like that before but we can try it again.
