Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If you are concerned your pup is dehydrated, she really needs to see a veterinarian. She is not expected to improve even if she was eating the honey solution necessarily. I highly recommend you consider having her evaluated by a veterinarian. You can consider an emergency veterinarian who may be open at this time if your veterinarian is not available. Good luck and have a good night!
