My dog will not stop drinking water. This has never been tried, I am not cruel to my dog, but to give you an idea of the severity, if provided an unlimited supply of water, she would drink until she vomits, then would begin drinking again. To give some background, she is a 45 - 50 lb. Boxer that was rescued from Arizona (I live in Ohio.) There is a really good chance she was abused by the previous owner. The vet said she is fine, no diseases or anything. My thinking is that it is psychological, I'm assuming that she was not given water often combined with Arizona's climate made her dehydrated and craving water. I believe she thinks when given water she must get all she can because there may not be a next time, but that is JMO.
I limit her water intake to avoid this, I put down the toilet seats to avoid her drinking them ( she has drank the entire bowl dry before) and now she drinks sprinklers.
Is there any way to get her over this problem, or do you think I am even right?
