Hi everyone as you can see my 15 week old Maltese wont eat anymore after 2nd shots at vets. When l first brought her home from breeder she was eating just fine on Eukanoba. Ever since than its been a struggle tried sprinkiling cheerios on it that worked once than wet her food that also worked just for one meal. Than again heated up her meals, also tried added another brand with her Eukanuba, shes playing games always works just the one time. So bringing her back to vets have her checked out "again". What do l do be firm and stay with her original food and how long do l wait before she eats?

Hi, Maddies,
She will eat when she gets hungry!
Do you take her out every day for at least a 45 min. brisk walk? Or, let her out in the back yard, running with her to release some of that energy she has?
A tired dog will eat after exercising.
Put her dry dog food down, give her about 30 min. to decide if she wants it, then pick it back up if she doesn't eat it. Later that evening, put it down again.
I have never heard of a health dog "starving" itself to death, when food is available. She will eventually eat. So, Please don't worry that she is not eating right now. Try some good exercise for her as above, and it will make her hungry. Best wishes.

Fred brougt up alot of good points. Long walks will stimulate many things physically and psychologically. One thing you shouldnt do is confuse her with human food. Be steady in her dog food, and like fred said yes she will eventually become hungry enough that she will eat. It's not a vaccination reaction I can say that much though. Trauma from vet visits can knock a young learning puppy of it's feed for a while. It happened to one of my pups in my litter after their 3rd round of shots he was real skiddish but soon bounced back. Be persistant in feeding at certain times. I'm sure she'll be alright.
