siberian husky 4 months old puppy difficulty drinking
bought him about 3 weeks ago and he has a problem when drinking water.
Every time she drinks water she hold her head up and swallow like it's hard for her to drink then you could see her stomach moving.
Hi
You don't mention whether or not your pup has difficulty when eating too. There are certain conditions which affect the esophagus and cause a dog to have difficulty chewing and swallowing, and often cause them to regurgitate food.
Other things such as problems with the nerves that control the action of swallowing, neurological problems or other issues could also be to blame.
I would definitely recommend that you have your veterinarian give your pup a thorough check up to rule out any underlying health issues. If he does find a problem, the earlier it's diagnosed and treated the better.
Difficulty swallowing can lead a dog to aspirate (breath rather than swallow) food or liquids and this can cause pneumonia which is life-threatening.
Of course, I'm not a veterinarian and I haven't seen what your dog is doing, it may be something much simpler, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. So, please have your vet take a look at your pup. Best of luck.
