What if your puppy won't eat?

Answer 1

Get A New One! lol Just joking, he may be either sick or has worms. Has he had his shot's? If not maybe you should purchase the 7-in-1 puppy shot. It has i think every vaccine puppy's need. I got my puppy one and he seemed happier and healthier Literally the next morning. If he's had his shot's maybe the worm medicine will work. Be VERY careful with the worm medicine tho. Make sure it's PUPPY worm medicine instead of Dog worm medicine. If you give your puppy to much or the Adult kind, he may over dose and die. When i was a kid i killed to of my puppy's accidentally with adult dog worm medicine. Good luck:) Tell foofy foofy i said What up Doe!

Answer 2

Start by feeding him the same food he was eating at the breeder's house or shelter where you got him. A sudden change in diet can upset his digestive system.

If you are offering the same food and he is still reluctant, he may be stressed from his sudden change in environment. Soaking the food in warm water will make it easier to eat and digest, and also make it smell more attractive.

You should take your new puppy to your own veterinarian within 24 hours of getting him home to make sure he is healthy. That should rule out the more dangerous possible causes of loss of appetite, like parvo.

If your pup is still drinking water and going to the bathroom, and if his temperature is 101.5 F give or take 1 degree, then it is probably okay to wait 24 hours and see if he gets his appetite back on his own. If he doesn't start eating within 24 hours, or if he has any other symptoms or acts depressed, you should call your vet.

Answer 3

Best to take it to the vet because obviously it is not well! You could have fed it something that might have upset its stomach or maybe the puppy ate something it should not have when you were not looking.

Answer 4

You should take your puppy to see a vet.
