Overly thristy dog

Question
We have found a small Chihuahua and we notice that she urinates lots, drinks some much water and has a protruding belly, wheezes with slight difficulty breathing. Her age is not known but she looks around 3 to 5.

Answer
Hi Danielle,

Guesswork won't help this dog, she needs to be examined by a veterinarian.

If you plan on keeping the dog, part of the responsibility of pet ownership is to provide healthcare when it's needed, as well as preventive care. If you are unable to provide this care, you need to turn the dog over to an animal shelter or rescue group who can give the dog the treatment she needs.

Best of luck,

Patti
