I bought a cheap plastic water fountain made by Whisker City, just to see if Louie would "take to it" or not. Of course I don't see if he goes to it when I'm not around, but the water level is not dropping much, if at all. I don't know how much water a 15 pound SV should drink daily. He is still on a 100% kibble diet, until the jury comes back on his water consumption with the "temporary" fountain. If the fountain doesn't get him better flushing action in his urinary tract, then I will positively go with a wet diet, either raw, canned, or by moistening his kibble. If anyone has feedback on these ideas, I'd appreciate it.
If I crouch next to the fountain (which is right next to his food), wet my finger and put it next to his muzzle, I can usually get him primed, and then he'll come and start drinking. Usually I have to leave my finger in the water stream for him to continue drinking. Sometimes, as I slowly withdraw my finger, he stops drinking.
