Helen is adorable! I would make sure she is eating wet food and if she is don't worry to much about drinking water. There is a lot of water in wet food and if she is eating that she shouldn't get dehydrated. If she is eating dry food and not drinking then I would recommend adding some water to her dry food. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
