Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Lack of interest in water can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Stinker evaluated by a veterinarian soon for further assessment and treatment as I am afraid that he could be getting dehydrated. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
