The vet put fluids under my dogs skin Could that stop her from drinking for a little while?

I understand you're concerned about your dog's fluid intake after receiving subcutaneous fluids. While it's possible that your dog may drink less initially, it's not likely to be a long-term effect.

Here's why:

* Subcutaneous fluids are absorbed slowly: The fluids are injected under the skin, and the body absorbs them gradually.

* Hydration needs vary: Your dog's thirst and drinking habits can be influenced by many factors, including their overall health, activity level, and the weather.

* Monitor your dog closely: Observe your dog's water intake and overall behavior. If they show signs of dehydration (lethargy, dry gums, sunken eyes), contact your vet immediately.

It's important to note: It's best to consult your vet directly for any concerns about your dog's health and treatment. They can provide personalized advice based on your dog's specific situation.
