What is Bad Water?

Bad water is any water that shows signs of contamination. It can also be water that’s been standing for some time. You may notice that the water has little swimming insects in it. However, the water may also be cloudy, contain sediments, have a strange color (such as orange or brown), or even have an oily film on top.

Why would a dog drink bad water? Some dogs are not very discerning when it comes to food and water. There are dogs who don’t hesitate to eat a dead thing, get in the trash and eat very old leftovers, and more. The same applies to water.

A dog may be out hiking or running, for instance, and be hot and thirsty. In that case, if he sees some water nearby, he may not hesitate to quench his thirst with that water. He doesn’t realize the water is bad. He only wants to slake his thirst. But this can be dangerous.

That’s because bad water may contain chemicals, dirt, algae, parasites, and other things that can make a dog sick. This can even include a disease called leptospirosis, which is a bacterial infection. This is a disease that’s usually caught from drinking standing water.

What to Do If Your Dog Drinks Bad Water

If your dog happens to drink bad water and becomes sick, then do call the vet. Don’t wait to see if your fur baby will feel better. Some conditions can worsen over time and even become life-threatening. This is true even after drinking bad water.

Your vet will have the best advice and guidance on how to help your dog. When talking with the vet, be sure to share information about how long ago your dog drank the water. And let the vet know all the symptoms your dog is showing. This will help the vet to determine how to proceed to help your dog.
