unsure what to do... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

G2momma · 12-13-2009, 08:08 PM

I am sure this has been a topic posted like 500 times. Yesterday, my husband and I noticed that the puppy isn't eating like she normally does. She was doing really well for a period of time, even the hard food. Today and Yesterday she is not interested in food at all, not even the wet stuff. I did get her to eat a few bites from my hand. She was also shivering. I did give her Nurtical, just to be safe.

Its just so scary, I will be calling the vet tomorrow, if she doesn't eat over night!

Any ideas what could be going on?

Is she drinking water? i would get her to the vet as soon as possible when they are puppies they can go down fast

How old is your baby ? she could be off her food from teething. They usually shake from pain or maybe her anals are full.

How old and big is she, does she have a hard tummy could she have a tummy upset, I would get her to a vet the little ones can go down hill quickly, is her gums pink and is she drinking water and pooping okay

The next morning, she was back to her old self. Almost two full days of eating very litte... but she was going to the bathroom normal. I think she just had a little bug, and she snapped out of it. Thanks for the suggestions! So glad I have all of you here to panic to!

My 2 have been doing that where they gobble up their food for a couple of days in a row and then all of a sudden they will just sniff the food and walk away. But I have gotten them in a bad habit where I bribe them.

Well, I finally got a little bit smarter and now I take a piece of what food I would be giving them and let them see me putting it into their bowl. They think they are getting a treat so they start to eat and next thing, they are eating. lol I will usually put a small piece of cheese, green bean, carrot so something along those lines.
