I still have a batch of homemade bone broth in the freezer, and am going to pick some goat milk the next time I'm at the grocery store. I'm also going to pick up a bit of meat to make small batches of beef, pork, and goat broth. Alas, Buddy is allergic to chicken and turkey, and can't have fish, so tuna broth isn't an option for us.
So what other kinds of liquids can I give him, either to pour into a saucer, or to mix with his food for syringe feedings when needed?
Buddy has never been much of a water drinker, especially since we transitioned him over to a wet food only diet. But since he's had bouts of urinary tract problems and constipation in the past, we prefer to err on the side of caution, and always add extra water or some kind of moisture to his food.
The vet assures us that Buddy isn't getting dehydrated, and doesn't appear to be any worse for wear. So on the bright side, Buddy isn't in any immediate distress. I'd just like like to keep it that way, especially since his food intake has slacked off a little this summer when it's been so insufferably hot and humid, and he's getting less moisture than usual.
