My dog has been home for over a week and barely eats, only drinking water – what could be wrong?

Why does my dog knock over its water bowl when drinking?
A dog knocking over its water bowl while drinking may be because it isn't getting enough water and flips the bowl to get more. It may also be drinking too enthusiastically and accidentally tips it over. In addition, a dog may knock over the bowl simply because it finds it fun or wants to play with water. Also, a dog feeling uneasy or nervous may show this behavior. Furthermore, if a small toy or some food falls into the water bowl, that may also prompt the dog to flip it over.
