If Woody is eating wet food I wouldn't be too concerned about him not drinking much. There is a lot of water in wet food. If he is lethargic, not eating or has any other systmes then it would be a concern that I would recommend a veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
