Sometimes low sodium chicken broth will entice them to drink. Offer fresh water often. I know with ours though, if she has an upset digestive system, she isn't interested in drinking anything either. One of our previous dogs had these symptoms with whipworm. One test can miss them as the female has to lay eggs for a positive result. Hit or miss with that. The whipworm feeds off their digestive tract and eventually there will be blood in the diarrhea.(It was always red) I would ask for a recheck of that if things don't improve, or if the amount of blood increases. Sometimes they just need to rest the digestive tract and withholding food for awhile (24 hrs or so) will help. Ask the vet about that also. Could there be a food allergy -- an ingredient in the food causing this? So hard to tell what it is sometimes.
